MAY isang linggo na ang nakalilipas nang matagumpay na maidepensaa ni Aung La N Sang ng Myanmar ang middleweight championship laban kay Alain “The Panther” Ngalani sa harap nang nagbubunying kababayan.

“I’m very happy about the win but I’m not happy about the performance,” sambit ni Nsang. “I wanted my performance to be better. Next week, I will be back to the gym and train. I want to be better.”

'Pikon daw?' UAAP fan na nag-dirty finger, agaw-eksena sa San Juan Arena!

Sa naganap na tagumpay, umaasa si For N Sang na mas dadami ang mga tagahanga ng ONE at mapataas ang level ng awareness sa sports ng kanyang bansa tulad ng tinatamasa sa kasalukuyan ng bansa.

“I hope more youth would want to do MMA. There is more business coming in and I just hope that more athletes wanting to do it,” pahayag ni N Sang.

“Myanmar is behind. Compared to the Philippines, Singapore—it’s behind the MMA field. But I hope that with me competing and being the One Champion will help promote to people who want to train mixed martial arts.”

Umaasa si N Sang na makalilikha ng local hero ang Myanmar na tulad nang kaganapan kay Folayang.

“I feel very honored to be a figure like that and I want to continue to do it. As of now, I’m in MMA not in politics.

Being a figure like that is an honor and I want to keep promoting it because it is good and beneficial for everybody,” sambit ni N Sang.

Myanmar is going through tough times. Over the years, Myanmar has issues internally and I just hope we can go out of that and be above that.”
