Aung La N Sang has been training at Kill Cliff FC with Henri Hooft, but he revealed that he also checked out another popular gym in Florida.
During an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit, ‘The Burmese Python’ shared some personal information with fans who wanted to know more about him. One fan was curious about how the 37-year-old got connected to Hooft.
Aung La N Sang shared the story behind their relationship:
"I came down to Florida to do a camp at ATT for a week. I like ATT but I didn’t make any connection with the coaches there. And a friend named Roberto told me I should do a private lesson with Henri Hooft. And after my first lesson, I knew I needed to work with him. I told him I would like to do a camp with him and he said he would come corner me in my fight and the rest is history. We also share the same birthday, so in a sense, it was meant to be."
