The revenge tour of former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world champion Aung La N Sang began in November 2022 at ONE 163 against Japanese legend Yushin Okami in front of the Singapore Indoor Stadium crowd.

Aung La and Okami fought in a middleweight match, and the full fight replay was posted by ONE Championship on YouTube:

"An incredible first-round knockout ended the collision between Myanmar sports icon Aung La N Sang and Japanese MMA veteran Yushin Okami!"

The match started with a feeling-out process with both men gauging each other's distance, but the Myanmar superstar quickly fired a high kick that was blocked by the Okami.

That attack was instantly reciprocated by the Japanese icon with a takedown attempt that was defended well by Aung La, who found himself on top of Okami in full guard.

Knowing Okami was a massive threat down the mat, Aung La pulled out of the guard and invited him up on the feet once more. Then, the 39-year-old perfectly countered Okami's takedown attempt with a solid knee strike that clipped him.

This started a barrage of ground-and-pound strikes that ended the bout at 1:42 of the opening round.


Aung La N Sang looking to extend his win streak to four against Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168: Denver

Following that incredible finish of Okami, Aung La added two more finishes to his record with wins over Gilberto Galvao in January 2023 at ONE Fight Night 6 and Fan Rong in May 2023 at ONE Fight Night 10.

Now, the Kill Cliff FC-affiliated athlete aims to continue his hot streak against Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168: Denver, where they are scheduled in a middleweight match. A win for either fighter could have world title implications.

ONE 168: Denver will take place inside the Ball Arena on Sept. 6 during primetime in the U.S. Tickets for the event are available on Ticketmaster.
