Aung La N Sang will be hunting for a finish against Fan Rong at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video.
Aung La is making his nineteenth appearance under the ONE banner on May 5. ‘The Burmese Python’ has been matched up against Fan, who holds two wins in the promotion. Although the Burmese star respects his upcoming opponent, he plans to dominate in front of the sold-out 1stBank Center in Colorado.
During an interview with ONE, Aung La had this to say about his fight at ONE Fight Night 10:
“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.”

Aung La N Sang fought in January, defeating Gilbert Galvao for his second consecutive first-round finish. Since losing his world championships to Reinier de Ridder, the former two-division world champion has won three of his last four fights, including three in the first round.
Meanwhile, Fan Rong wants nothing more than to establish himself as a formidable contender in the middleweight division.
Aung La N Sang isn’t underestimating the effects of fighting at Colorado’s elevation
ONE Championship will host their first North American event in Colorado. All of the fighters need to adjust to the higher elevation, which could lead to some gassing out quicker. During an interview with ONE, Aung La N Sang revealed his plans to prepare for the difference by saying:
“To get acclimated to the elevation, I have everything in place. I’m going to go there a little early. As far as nutrition goes, I’m gonna be taking some supplements, like beetroot juice and stuff like that. I don’t want to give all the details, but I think I’ll be good.”
ONE Fight Night 10 features three world championship fights - Demetrious Johnson vs. Adriano Moraes 3 for the ONE flyweight world title, Rodtang Jitmuangnon vs. Edgar Tabres for the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title, and Mikey Musumeci vs. Osamah Almarwai for the ONE flyweight submission grappling world title.
Several superstars will also compete on May 5, including Stamp Fairtex, Sage Northcutt, Mikey Musumeci, and ONE middleweight world champion Reinier de Ridder.
ONE Fight Night 10 can be seen live and for free by North American Prime Video subscribers.
