Former two-division champion Aung La N Sang gave the raucous crowd at ONE Fight Night 6 exactly what they wanted to see.
Myanmar’s N Sang (29-13) needed 89 seconds to get the job done against Gilberto Galvao, much to the delight of the crowd, which showered “The Burmese Python” with the loudest cheers of the evening.
The event took place at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, and aired on Amazon Prime Video.
It didn’t take much for N Sang to get the close the show. Galvao (30-8-1) was aggressive early as he swung wide hooks, but N Sang connected with a sneaky uppercut that sent him to the canvas. N Sang allowed Galvao to return to his feet, and a moment later the fight moved to a clinch against the fence. N Sang defended a takedown attempt well, and dropped Galvao to the mat once again.
The end was near, as N Sang rained down heavy punches until referee Herb Dean called a stop to the fight.
