Aung La N Sang and Vitaly Bigdash are both planning to put their rivalry to bed at ONE Championship’s Full Circle event on Friday in Singapore.

“This fight’s going to end with a bang,” N Sang said in a pre-fight virtual interview alongside the Russian. “If we both do our jobs, we’re going to put on an epic fight.”

“This fight is very meaningful for me,” Bigdash said, echoing his great rival’s sentiments. “I’m ready for any result. I’m ready for a finish.”

This will be the third time “The Burmese Python” (27-12) and 37-year-old Bigdash (11-2) have met in the ONE Circle.

Bigdash won their first encounter, at ONE: Quest for Power in Jakarta in early 2017, defending the promotion’s middleweight title with a unanimous decision. N Sang evened the score in the sequel later that year, winning a decision in front of his fellow Burmese inside the Thuwunna Stadium in Yangon.
