Aung La N Sang sent his countrymen home with smiles on their faces.
The Bellator MMA, Ring of Combat and Cage Fury Fighting Championships veteran submitted Mohamed Ali with a first-round guillotine choke in the One Championship 39 “Union of Warriors” headliner on Friday at Thuwunna Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar. Ali (10-8) bowed out 2:38 into round one.
Sang (7-9) withstood a furious uppercut-laden punching burst from the Egyptian Top Team rep and countered an ill-advised single-leg takedown with the guillotine. With no means of escape, Ali tapped to the Myanmar native’s choke, the raucous crowd roaring its approval.
