Aung La N Sang says it will "be a lot easier" to fight in North America
Aung La N Sang trains at Kill Cliff FC in South Florida. Therefore, the former two-division world champion endures a long journey to Asia when he fights for ONE Championship. Now that the promotion is holding an event in North America for the first time, ‘The Burmese Python’ will get to take advantage of less travel.
During an interview with SCMP MMA, Aung La had this to say about the benefits of fighting in North America:
“I can bring more training partners, I can make it more, I can make preparations easier for the fight towards the end and I have a lot of things in my control than versus let’s say like in Singapore or even in like the worst example would be like in China where I couldn’t speak their language in a foreign country. I had a hard time getting the right food and such you know. But this one it’s gonna be a lot easier.”
On May 5, Aung La will take on Fan Rong at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video. The historic event goes down inside the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, with a lot of American talent, including Demetrious Johnson vs. Adriano Moraes 3 in the main event and the return of Sage Northcutt. ONE Fight Night 10 can be seen live and for free by North American Prime Video subscribers.
