Aung La N Sang talks Vitaly Bigdash rubber match at ONE: Full Circle

Aung La N Sang tests skills with Vitaly Bigdash in a rubber match at ONE: Full Circle. This high-stakes middleweight matchup takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium on February 25th.

I spoke with N Sang ahead of this fight and we touched on several subjects such as: -This rubber match being canceled before and if the Bigdash trilogy will only feel real once in the Circle

-The move to Florida and subsequent hard work all culminating in this moment

-The mutual respect at the nucleus of this tiebreaker affair

-The first two fights being five years ago and how the complexion of this contest differs

-The sparring partners out of Sanford MMA who present good looks for fighting Bigdash here

-Strong training relationships with fighters outside of his weight class ie/ former ONE dual division champ Martin Nguyen

-This card seeming like a middleweight showcase with Reinier de Ridder defending the ONE belt against Kiamrian Abbasov and Leandro Ataides vs David Branch

-How three or four fights would be ideal this calendar year

-ONE Championship instantiating 50k bonuses and how Aung La N Sang feels about that

-The DJ vs Rodtang hybrid rules bout and if N Sang would do a mixed contest with MMA and Lethwei rules

-How Lethwei competition would resonate on the level of being a Myanmar descendant

-The heartbreaking situation back in Myanmar still raging on

-N Sang's last KO win offering a glimmer of hope for a brief period

-His recent anniversary in ONE Championship and the mutual growth with fighter and promotion by proxy

-His tenure as a beekeeper and N Sang's intent to return to doing that at some point

-The backstory on why Tial Thang is coming hard
