WATCH: Former champ-champ Aung La N Sang batters Gilberto Galvao in dominant Bangkok showing
Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world champion Aung La N Sang has a near-supernatural ability to knock out his opponents. Brazilian star Gilberto Galvao experienced his power first-hand at ONE Fight Night 6 in January 2023.
Because of his Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) background and imposing physique, 'Giba' appeared poised to hand Aung La N Sang his fifth loss in the world's largest martial arts promotion.
However, 'The Burmese Python' overpowered Galvao and threw him onto the mat, where his non-stop ground-and-pound attack forced referee Herb Dean to call off the bout early in the first round.
Watch Aung La N Sang's dominant outing below, which ONE shared on Instagram:
It was a masterful performance for the second-ever two-division ONE world champion, which recorded his 12th finish in 14 victories under the ONE banner. In May 2023, the Burmese hero earned his 15th win by submitting Chinese star Fan Rong at ONE Fight Night 10.
With a three-fight winning streak under his belt, the Kill Cliff FC star will look to improve it to four straight when he faces the undefeated Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 inside the Ball Arena.
