FREE FULL FIGHT: Burmese legend Aung La N Sang lights Tokyo up with inspiring knockout win over Ken Hasegawa

Aung La N Sang has carved out a legendary career in ONE Championship because of his stellar finishing abilities. In March 2019, he showcased it in his defense of the ONE middleweight MMA world championship against Ken Hasegawa.

Similar to their first encounter in June 2018, 'The Burmese Python' was landing bombs at will against the Japanese star.

Aung La N Sang, who also held the ONE light heavyweight MMA world championship at that time, eventually caught Hasegawa with a big right hand and immediately swarmed him with ground-and-pound strikes for the TKO win late in round two.

Watch their heated rematch in its entirety below, as posted by ONE on YouTube:

Though he lost the ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA crowns to Reinier de Ridder in his next two outings, Aung La N Sang bounced back admirably with four wins in his last five bouts.

The 39-year-old will next face Shamil Erdogan in a middleweight MMA bout at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 inside the Ball Arena for his 20th fight under the ONE banner.


Aung La N Sang receives high praise from Kill Cliff FC striking coach

Aung La N Sang has earned 13 finishes in his 15 wins under the ONE banner and he could be gunning for No. 14 when he faces Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168 on September 6 inside the Ball Arena.

In a video posted by the Burmese great on YouTube, Kill Cliff FC striking coach Jason Trout praised his power and said:

"I'm working with Aung La for his upcoming fight. The guy punches like a tank. I couldn't imagine standing in front of him in a fight and getting hit in MMA gloves. It's like getting hit by a bomb."
