Aung La N Sang lauded his opponent’s skills but was confident about his victory

Aung La N Sang shared, “I’m looking for a finish. Honestly, I’m looking for a grand finish. If the submission is there, I’ll take it, but I’m not going to force anything. I’m just going to look to break him and outwork him. I’ll just break him.”

“The Burmese Python” has done thorough research on his upcoming opponent and believes he has enough in his tank to overcome him, but that doesn’t mean he is underestimating what the Chinese warrior will bring to the Circle. It simply means he’s confident in his abilities and motivated to put on a show in front of his fans and family in America.

Aung La N Sang also has the added advantage of being based in North America, so he doesn’t have to take a long-haul flight to Asia or settle into a drastically different timezone.

Though he has become accustomed to it over the years, not having to make a long journey will be a welcome change when ONE arrives in Colorado. The Florida-based fighter added, “It’s going to be very exciting. No 20-plus hour flights, which I don’t mind now. I’m kind of used to it now. I just see it as a day for myself to relax, read a book, watch movies, and eat some snacks on the airplane. For me, it ain’t too bad anymore.”

My interest in combat sports began watching scripted pro wrestling shows. It was my father who directed me towards combat sports and it wasn’t until the late 2010s that I discovered the world of MMA and the UFC. Like many of you, I too, tuned in for the infamous Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor bout live on October 6, 2018.

But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I’m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs.
