ONE Championship: Aung La N Sang returns in February for Vitaly Bigdash trilogy
- Chatri Sityodtong confirms ‘The Burmese Python’ will be back in the ONE Circle next month – ‘that’s another fight we’ve been trying to make for a while’
- CEO provides update on several big title fights, and reveals ‘a lot of people are turning down’ chance to fight two-weight champ Reinier de Ridder
“The Burmese Python” will be back in the ONE Circle in February.
ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong has confirmed Aung La N Sang will return to action next month for a long-awaited trilogy against Russia’s Vitaly Bigdash.
Former middleweight and light heavyweight champion N Sang (27-12, 1 no contest) is seemingly set to feature on February 11’s ONE: Bad Blood card. The event will be headlined by bantamweight MMA champion Bibiano Fernandes’ title fight with fellow Brazilian John Lineker.
“He [N Sang] is going to be fighting, I believe next month,” Chatri told the Post on a media call after Friday’s ONE: Heavy Hitters event in Singapore.
“Yeah, it’s a trilogy fight with Bigdash. Vitaly’s had a string of injuries in the past couple of years, that’s what has sidelined him.
