“We fight with our hearts” - Aung La N Sang praises Vero for showcasing the prowess of a true Burmese warrior

Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world champion 'The Burmese Python' Aung La N Sang of Myanmar is no stranger to showcasing the fighting spirit of the people in his country.

From escaping turmoil in Burma to becoming a mixed martial arts legend in his own right, Aung La N Sang has come a long way. Most importantly, the 39-year-old veteran is extremely proud to have inspired the next generation of fighters from Myanmar.

One of those fighters is 28-year-old Muay Thai star Vero 'The Kayan Leopard.'

Speaking to Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post in a recent interview, Aung La N Sang talked about Vero and had nothing but praise for the young rising star.

'The Burmese Python' said:

"Yeah, for sure. That’s what we do. We fight with our hearts. And I’m very thankful she fought so hard. And I know she’s gonna keep getting better. She’s gonna come back strong and she’s gonna make it a staple in ONE Championship."

Aung La N Sang himself will return to action this week, and he hopes to spark more inspiration for Myanmar with his latest performance.
