The reverberations of Alain “The Panther” Ngalani’s history-making 11-second knockout last weekend are still being felt across the world of mixed martial arts with the Hong Kong heavyweight being offered a “super bout” with the One Championship’s middleweight champion Aung La Nsang.
“It was the quickest knockout I’ve had – and the most memorable,” said 42-year-old Ngalani on Thursday, back home and resuming operations at his Impakt MMA gym in Central.
“The crowd went crazy and it was unbelievable. It was the biggest night I have had in my career.”

So how does he maintain the rage?

Ignore what anyone else says, at all times, says Ngalani.
