The rivalry between Aung La N Sang and Vitaly Bigdash for the ONE Championship middleweight belt was epic in every sense. Though they've only fought twice, the two exchanged wins across 10 rounds in perhaps the best back-to-back bouts the company has ever seen.
On February 25 at ONE: Full Circle, we will witness the final battle between the two legends in a much-anticipated rubber match.

The pair were scheduled to fight for a third time in April 2020. However, the fight was canceled due to restrictions brought forth by the pandemic. The bout was again set almost exactly a year later for Aung La's light heavyweight belt. After Bigdash tested positive for COVID-19, he was replaced by Reinier de Ridder, who then took the belt from 'The Burmese Python'.
At ONE: Full Circle, Aung La N Sang and Vitaly Bigdash will battle to edge in front in the rivalry and also keep their chances at another title shot alive. In a preview video released by ONE Championship, we get a recap of the two fights that the pair had leading up to their February 25 contest.
The first fight was a close decision win for Bigdash, who battled Aung La tooth-and-nail and used his grappling to edge out the Burmese fighter. The second fight took place in Aung La N Sang's hometown of Yangon, Myanmar. This time, 'The Burmese Python' won via a unanimous decision to become his country's first-ever world champion.
With one win apiece, the two have unfinished business and it's fitting that they will settle the score in an event called 'Full Circle'.
