ONE Championship has added another exciting matchup to the fold at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III. Aung La N Sang and Fan Rong are getting another chance to step inside the Circle against one another. The event, marking ONE’s debut on U.S. soil, hits the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado, on May 5.
The two middleweight warriors were supposed to face off at ONE Fight Night 6. However, the 29-year-old Chinese athlete tested positive for COVID-19 and withdrew from battle. In his place, Gilberto Gilvao stepped in to face off with “The Burmese Python,” who would win the bout in under 90 seconds.
The middleweight bout should be guaranteed excitement for the fans inside the arena or watching on Prime Video. The two athletes have a combined 48 victories, and 44 of those ended before the final bell. A finish is almost guaranteed when these two men start swinging leather at each other.
The Longyun MMA representative hopes to make a splash in the U.S. with a win over the former divisional king. It would put him right in the hunt for the ONE Middleweight World Championship. But Myanmar’s biggest superstar is rolling into this matchup with back-to-back first-round TKO finishes.
