One Championship: Aung La N Sang blasts out Brandon Vera to retain title in Tokyo slugfest
- ‘The Burmese Python’ gets second-round TKO in Century Part 2 main event
- Heavyweight champion rocked with spinning back elbow before getting dropped
Amid a spine tingling atmosphere at Sumo Hall for the main event of One Championship’s Century Part 2, Aung La N Sang blasted out Brandon Vera to defend his light heavyweight title with a stunning TKO victory.
“The Burmese Python” had plenty of travelling support from Myanmar, and they were left delirious when referee Olivier Coste stepped in at 3:23 of the second round.
N Sang rocked the heavyweight champion with a spinning back elbow and then dropped him before delivering some strikes against the fence.
“That was fun,” was how N Sang summed it up.
Perhaps scarily for the rest of the middleweight and lightweight divisions, he feels he has still got room to improve.
“I can’t wait to get back to the gym and put some work in, clean up some technique,” added N Sang, who trains out of Hard Knocks 365 in Florida. “I’ve been fighting since I was 19 years old, I’m 34 now.”
