A former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world champion, Aung La N Sang, hung up his gloves for good after notching a 31-15 career record.

Apart from being one of the most beloved figures in the promotion, the Kill Cliff FC standout is also one of the most influential, after putting his native Myanmar on the MMA landscape.

After dedicating his life for over two decades in the sport, Aung La made his final walk to the ring at ONE Fight Night 36 last October.
