At ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, Aung La N Sang will step inside the circle for the second time this year. The former double champion has been working to rebuild his momentum, producing back-to-back first-round knockouts in his recent fights. On May 5, he will face China’s Fan Rong in a contest that was scheduled to happen earlier this year but fell apart on late notice.
An added element to this fight that has got Aung La excited to compete is the stage itself. ONE Fight Night 10 will be the promotion’s first-ever event hosted in the United States. Live from the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, the card is stacked with some of the biggest names on the ONE Championship roster, including ‘The Burmese Python’.
Aung La N Sang always brings a huge amount of support with him each and every time he fights. His friend and training partner Martin Nguyen has already predicted that there will be a huge amount of support for Aung La on May 5.
Whilst he is counting on fans to show up to support him, Aung La recently revealed that he has already arranged plans for his entire family to travel to Colorado to watch him compete. In an interview with the South China Morning Post on YouTube, he said:
