"Muscles don't win in a fight" - Relive Aung La N Sang's one-round strangulation of Alain Ngalani

Aung La N Sang's willingness to take on a dangerous striker with a hulking physique says a lot about the kind of fighter he is.

The Myanmar veteran took pride in calling himself a true fighter when he defeated four-time Muay Thai and kickboxing heavyweight world champion Alain Ngalani in a historic open weight super-bout at ONE: Hero's Dream in 2017.

Aung La embodied the fighting spirit of the nation of Myanmar with his unyielding determination to beat the odds after two failed submission attempts.

On the third try, 'The Burmese Python' jumped into guard to secure a guillotine choke in mid-flight until he eventually forced his opponent to tap in the first round.

As Aung La heads to Denver, Colorado on Sept. 6 to face undefeated middleweight MMA contender Shamil Erdogan, let's take a look at his devastating submission win over heavyweight steamroller Alain Ngalini below:

"GIGANTIC collision. Are you excited to see Myanmar powerhouse Aung La N Sang return to take on Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168: Denver?"

Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world champion Aung La N Sang isn't intimidated by Shamil Erdogan's 9-0 record.

The battle-tested warrior has gone through numerous undefeated fighters in his illustrious career to start putting much credence into the word. For Aung La, it's just business as usual.

Speaking to Sportskeeda MMA, the 39-year-old veteran candidly said:

"He's not the first undefeated [fighter] I fought. He's not the first strong undefeated [fighter] that I'm gonna beat. It's not a big deal."
