ONE Championship: Aung La N Sang says Vitaly Bigdash ‘physically stronger’ than Reinier de Ridder, breaks down title fight
- Former two-division ONE title-holder N Sang knows both men well, having fought De Ridder twice and Bigdash three times
- ‘The Burmese Python’ is tired of losing after three defeats in four fights – ‘I’ve got to get back to my winning ways,’ he says
ONE Championship middleweight king Reinier de Ridder is expected to defend his title against Russia’s Vitaly Bigdash next. There is perhaps nobody better positioned to comment on that potential match-up than Aung La N Sang.
He knows both men very well.
N Sang (27-13) has fought De Ridder twice, first losing via first-round submission in late 2020, and then by decision early in 2021.
“The Burmese Python” has spent even more time in the ONE Circle with Bigdash, having battled the Russian three times, with all of them going to a decision. He lost the first fight, evened the score with a win of his own, and finally lost their third bout earlier this year.
“That will be a fun fight,” N Sang told the Post about a potential middleweight title bout between his two former opponents. “I want to tune in for that.”
