WATCH: A quick breakdown of Aung La N Sang's sub-minute KO win against Alexandre Machado in front of ecstatic Yangon crowd

Aung La N Sang's crowning glory as a then two-division MMA world champion happened in February 2018 at ONE: Quest for Gold, which took place in front of his home crowd at the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar.

Aung La was pitted against Alexandre Machado for the vacant ONE light heavyweight MMA world title. His winning moment was relived by ONE Championship via a recent Instagram video:

"That head kick sent him ⬇️ How will Aung La N Sang fare against Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168: Denver? @aunglansang"

'The Burmese Python', who then also held the ONE middleweight MMA world title, set up a beautiful head kick by faking a punch to drop the guard of the Brazilian powerhouse. Aung La landed the kick on the side of his head, and despite his best effort to block it, the power was too much for Machado to handle.

That kick sent the Brazilian down the canvas, and the Kill Cliff FC representative immediately went for the finish via the ground-and-pound to officially become a two-division world champion, which sent the arena into a frenzy.
