Fans are showing respect for the war between Aung La N Sang and Ken Hasegawa.
In June 2018, Aung La and Hasegawa met for the first time in one of the greatest fights in ONE Championship history. At the time, Hasegawa was making his promotional debut, while ‘The Burmese Python’ was on a three-fight winning streak.
ONE recently re-surfaced the fight-ending sequence with the caption:
“Sent him crumpling 😨 Does Fan Rong await the same fate when he meets Aung La N Sang in the Circle on May 5 at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video? 👀 @aunglansang”

Before Aung La secured a fifth-round knockout, Hasegawa refused to quit and continued moving forward despite being out of energy. Although the Japanese-born fighter didn’t win, he gave the fans an unforgettable show.
When ONE posted the highlights, fans filled the comment section, including some saying:
“That takedown was insane 👏”
“The sweep is underrated af”
“Man’s WiFi got disconnected.”
“Wow it’s crazy how when you’re tired, it’s so much easier to get knocked out cold”
“This is what you call leaving it out there... Both warriors and both get respect 🙏 🔥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️”
“Dude had NOTHING left in the tank, and just kept rolling. Went out on his shield. Respect.”
Hasegawa would fight Aung La for a second time in March 2019, with the latter winning by a second-round knockout.
The former DEEP openweight world champion hasn’t fought since. Meanwhile, ‘The Burmese Python’ became a two-division world champion in ONE Championship as he continues to build his legacy to this day.
He will be looking for his third straight finish against Fan Rong when ONE Championship makes its debut on US soil in May.
