ONE
two-division World Champion Burmese Python Aung La Nsang beat Brandon Vera ‘The
Truth’ and retained his ONE light heavyweight championship title at the ‘ONE
Championship: Century Part 2’ event at the Ryogoku Kokugikan sporting arena in
Tokyo, Japan.
Aung La
defeated Vera ‘The Truth’ in round two during which the pair pelted each other
with a dazzling array of offense — punches, kicks, elbows, and knees — with
fight-ending intention.
Aung La
swarmed Vera when Vera reached the floor, and landed punch after punch until
Vera crumbled to his knees. There, official stoppage came at 3:23 minutes into
the second round.
After
successfully defending the light heavyweight title, Aung La posted a message on
his social media. “First of all, I want to thank God for this victory! I want
to thank my father, my family, my team, and all the fans that have supported me
on this journey. I want to say that we must always try to be a better version
of ourselves as individuals and together as Myanmar. That is the only way we
can move forward to a brighter future. Thank you ONE Championship for the
amazing night! Love and bless you all!” he stated.
With the
victory, Aung La Nsang has made his first successful defense of the light
heavyweight title. He won the light heavyweight title on 23 February, 2018 by
defeating Alexandre Machado in Yangon.
Aung La
also holds the ONE middleweight title. He won the title against Vitaly Bigdash
on 30 June, 2017 in Yangon. He has successfully defended the middleweight title
thrice. He managed to hold on to his title for the third time in Tokyo, Japan,
where he bested Japan’s Ken Hasegawa on 31 March.
