On January 14, 2023, "ONE: Fighting Night 6" successfully ended in Bangkok, Thailand, and in this New Year's opening scene, 37-year-old former middleweight and light heavyweight world champion Aung La N Sang "Myanmar Monty Python" took just 1 minute and 29 seconds to TKO Gilberto Galvao, not only winning consecutive cages, but also receiving a $50,000 bonus.
Because Chinese fighter "King Kong Fighter" Fan Rong accidentally contracted the new crown before the match, Aung La N-Sang's opponent was replaced by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Galvo, and the competition level was also raised to 215 pounds. But Aung La N-Sang showed his usual dominance in the game. At the beginning of the match, Galvo attacked with a big swing punch, and Aung La N-sang calmly dodged and directly brought his opponent down with an oncoming punch. Although Galvo was hit hard and fell to the ground, the cautious Aung La Nsang did not rush to enter the ground, but let Galvo get up and fight again. Galvo's changed tactics and forced Aung La Nzang to the edge of the cage. Aung La N-Sang found the opportunity to directly push the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt down, and suppressed the fierce ground hammering to stage the first TKO.
This is the second time in a row that Aung La N-sang has resolved a fight in 2 minutes, following the 1:42 second time that Japanese fighting legend Yushin "Thunder" Kenshi (Yushin Okami) finished fighting. The bout boosted Aung La Nsang's professional record to 29-13 and ranked second in ONE Championship history with 14 wins in the Circle. Aung La N-Sang also has 27 finishing wins in total, a 93% finish rate, including 12 finishes in the cage, also winning the second place in ONE Championship history for the most finishes.
It is worth mentioning that since the appearance of "Burmese Monty Python", the enthusiastic support for Aung La Nsang has been endless. Aung La N-Sang's high popularity stems from his attitude towards the game. "I want the fans to see my progress, my fights are always trying to get better, I can finish any technique, I want to keep fighting at a high level and let the fans enjoy the fight. Fans don't want to see a decision scored, they want to see the finish, they want to appreciate great technique, and that's what I'm going to show in a fight! Only with the most convincing finish will I be satisfied with my game! ”
Two consecutive finishing wins put Aung La Nshan back on track to the championship. ONE Championship will be held at 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, in May, and Aung Laensan has expressed a desire to show off his prowess in the United States. "Burmese Monty Python" wants to play more because he wants to get back to the top. "I think I'm very close to the title challenge and I'm going to continue to improve myself and give great performances to the fans. I need to build on my winning streak so that the tournament knows I'm qualified to be the next title challenger! ”
