He first came to popularity for his constricting way of fighting, which gave him the nickname ‘The Burmese Python’, because of his ability to strike and grapple with his opponents. But although he knows how to fight in all areas of combat, Aung La N Sang says he will not go to the ground with his next opponent.

‘The Burmese Python’ told the world’s largest martial arts organization:

“He’s good everywhere. His defense is good. His offense [is good], he can do everything. Maybe his grappling is his weakness. But I’m not grappling, so … we’re gonna have a show on our hands.”

Aung La N Sang has been one of the most exciting fighters in ONE Championship for the past decade, but that is soon coming to an end. The Myanmar legend says his next fight will be his last.
