Aung La N Sang thrilled to watch his teammate Martin Nguyen get the win at ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video

There’s no denying that there is a deep sense of reverence and brotherhood between Aung La N Sang and ONE featherweight contender Martin Nguyen.

The Kill Cliff FC teammates have gotten closer over the last few months as Aung La took the responsibility of coaching and mentoring Nguyen in his comeback fight against Leonardo Casotti.

Watching Nguyen’s hand get raised after three grueling rounds gave Aung La an enormous sense of happiness and satisfaction for his friend. In the same interview, ‘The Burmese Python’ said:

"Man, that was a much-needed win you know. So I’m very very happy. He spent 12 weeks at my house, away from his family on Christmas and New Years so to get that win it was satisfying man. It was a relief and joy to see my friend win, you know."

Nguyen intends to return the favor by supporting Aung La’s training for Fan Rong in Florida. He is expected to corner for the former champion and be his third eye outside of the circle.
