'The Burmese Python' Aung La N Sang recently discussed the showdown between two world champions in the ONE on Prime Video 4 main event. 'The Warrior' Christian Lee will look to capture the welterweight crown from 'Brazen' Kiamrian Abbasov.
The November 18 headlining match will see the lightweight king go up in weight to challenge for the ONE welterweight world championship against Abbasov. In this matchup, 'The Burmese Python' does not believe the size difference will matter.
While speaking with The MMA Superfan, he said:
"I don’t think it matters, on fight night they’re gonna probably weigh around the same and Christian Lee is gonna be a bit stronger than he was at lightweight and Abbasov will be a little smaller than when he fought at middleweight."

'The Burmese Python' Aung La N Sang will have a challenging matchup of his own on November 19. Meeting the former two-division world champion in the ONE circle will be MMA veteran 'Thunder' Yushin Okami.
After his most recent loss, 'The Burmese Python' will be fighting hard to get back in the win column. This fight has extra prestige for Aung La as he will be facing an opponent he has spent his career looking up to.
In the same interview, he explained:
“It’s very cool, it’s like you getting to work with somebody you looked up to in the industry, you know? For me to be able to work with him, and when I say work it’s to fight him to compete against him. It’s very cool.”
