Former ONE champions Aung La N Sang and Martin Nguyen have been training with one another at Kill Cliff FC in Florida, and 'The Burmese Python' recently introduced Nguyen to the famous American hamburger joint, Five Guys.

The fast-food restaurant chain owns over 1,700 stores across 23 countries and four continents. Aung La and Nguyen visited a Five Guys store in South Florida, to which the former posted on Instagram, writing:

"I took @itsmartiinn 🇦🇺 and @yusaku_kinoshita 🇯🇵 to trying 5 Guys for the first time today. They loved it and rated it 8/10. What would you rate their burgers and who makes better burger than them?"

The pair of former two-division champs have been working with each other since November as both men are hoping to get back into the world title picture.

Aung La picked up a much-needed stoppage victory over Yushin Okami at ONE Championship 163. Meanwhile, Nguyen fell to promotional debutant Ilya Freymanov in his most recent outing, dropping him to No. 4 in the rankings.


Aung La N Sang willing to climb his way back to a title shot

'The Burmese Python' lost both of his belts in back-to-back fights to Reinier de Ridder. Since then, Aung La has gone 2-1 with a pair of knockouts, but the former champ knows he still has work to do before he's awarded another title shot.

The 37-year-old spoke about his willingness to climb his way back up the ladder in an interview with SCMP MMA. Aung La said:

"I have really high-level grapplers at my disposal that I can work with. So it's not a matter of, ‘Can I do it?,’ it's a matter of when. It's going to take time, I'm probably going to have to beat a few more guys. So it is what it is. I'm willing to climb back to the top."

De Ridder lost his light heavyweight belt to Anatoly Malykhin, but he still owns the middleweight strap. Expect Aung La N Sang to receive an opportunity to reacquire his belt following one more victory against a fellow contender.

Be sure to check back for an announcement pertaining to Aung La's next fight, as it will surely be against one of the top middleweights on the roster.
