37 years old still at the top? How terrifying is the strength of Fan Rong's opponent, Aung La Ensan?
On May 6, 2023, Beijing time, "ONE: Pinnacle Series 10" will be played at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, where Chinese mixed martial arts star "King Kong Fighter" Fan Rong will face pre-battle middleweight and light heavyweight world champion "Myanmar Monty Python" Aung La N Sang. Aung La N-Sang is 37 years old and he has lost three of his last six fights, which has also left many doubting his form. Is the "Burmese python" really not working? The data tells us the truth.
In "ONE: Fighting Night 6" in January this year, Aung La Nsang took just 1 minute and 29 seconds to TKO Gilberto Galvao, which was the second consecutive fight Aung La N-Sang solved in 2 minutes after TKO Yushin "Thunder" Okami in 1 minute and 42 seconds. Aung La Ensun has a 29-13 professional record, 27 of which are finished, with a finishing rate of 93 percent. Aung La N-Sang racked 14 wins inside the cage, second in ONE history for the most wins. He also had 12 finishers in the cage, also winning second place in ONE Championship history for the most finishes. It is worth mentioning that 20 of his finishes appeared in the first round, indicating that Aung La Nsang had a very strong explosive power in the first round, and for Fan Rong, the first round was quite dangerous.
Aung La Ensang not only has amazing offensive power, but he also has a steel chin and his ability to resist punches is amazing. Since coming to ONE Championship, he has taken more than 650 heavy hits in the cage bout, but has never been knocked out. It is not easy for Fan Rong to knock out Aung La Ensang by relying on punches and legs.
But Aung La Ensang is not invincible, once he enters the ground grappling, he will fall into passivity in front of the top grappling masters. Fan Rong is also a master of grappling, and before the match he said that he would submit the "Burmese Monty Python": "I admit that Aung La N-Sang's level is very high, especially the standing technique and anti-fall technique are very good. I think the two of us will have a really good game. My goal this time is to submit Aung La N-san! ”
Aung Laensan twice lost to middleweight current champion Reinier de Ridder "The Dutch Knight" due to a technical shortfall on the ground. In a three-way fight with his old rival, former middleweight world champion Vitaly Bigdash, Bidas controlled the pace of the match with a hug wrestling and eventually defeated "The Burmese Monty Python" by a consistent decision. But after these failures, Aung La N-sang improved his anti-fall skills, and in the past two fights, against grappling Galvo and Ken Oka Kenshin, Aung La N-sang won by hitting a tGKO before they dragged himself into the ground. This shows that Aung La N-Sang has gradually found a way to deal with grappling fighters.
Aung La N-Son is not worried about age, he has a professional team to help him stay in shape. In this preparation, he brought in mixed martial arts star Gilbert Burns "Little Tough Guy" for actual combat practice. "My physical training is very good and I have a professional team to help me adapt to everything." Aung La N-Sang believes he can finish three straight wins: "I have a lot more experience in mixed martial arts than Fan Rong. I am looking for ways to destroy him, and I will destroy Fan Rong. ”
How much chance do you think Fan Rong has of beating Aung La N-sang in this match?
