Aung La N Sang stands alongside Martin Nguyen also the only competitors in One Championship history to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously. Since he captured the middleweight crown from Vitaly Bigdash in June 2017, he has successfully defended it twice. Sang laid claim to a second championship with his head kick knockout of Alexandre Machado in February, the win bringing him light heavyweight gold.
“The Burmese Python” owns a 9-1 record in One Championship and finds himself in a holding pattern while he awaits his next assignment.
