"Heart as big as a lion" - Fighters and fans alike in utter awe of Aung La N Sang's collection of brutal finishes
In his decade run with ONE Championship, former two-division MMA world champion Aung La N Sang has become the second-most finishes in the promotion's history with 12.
This fantastic feat by Aung La was recently highlighted by the world's largest martial arts organization by posting all of them in a recent Instagram post. They wrote the post's caption:
"The Burmese Python always looks for the finish 🐍 Can Aung La N Sang snag another statement win against Shamil Erdogan on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver? @aunglansang"
'The Burmese Python's' victories over Mahmoud Salama, Mohamed Ali, Aleksei Butorin, Alain Ngalani, Alexandre Machado, Ken Hasegawa (twice), Mohammad Karaki, Leandro Ataides, Yushin Okami, Gilberto Galvao, and Fan Rong were highlighted by the promotion.
Because of this, fans and fellow professional fighters have commended him as users @thecandyshoppebp, @furqansworld, @bruce_aung, @natemarquardt, and @aidenandrew19 commented:
