"Former ONE Championship double-champ Aung La N Sang, once one of the promotion's biggest stars, closed out his career at ONE Fight Night 36 on Saturday. The Burmese Python became noted for some wildly entertaining brawls, especially during his rivalry with Vitaly Bigdash, during his heyday with ONE Championship. And for his infectious walkouts, to "Amae Like Akah" by Lay Phyu. The last of those arrived on Friday, with Iron Cross vocalist Lay Phyu himself on hand to sing Aung La to the ONE ring."
"Round two opened with a hard kick by Kadestam, but Aung La switched to the southpaw stance and took the fight to the Swede. Soon, Aung La had Kadestam covering up against the ropes, eating several shots, though not clean, before returning fire. As the round wore on, a spinning back elbow would land for Aung La, and several knees, with the soon-to-be retired star refusing to let up on the barrage."
Aung La N Sang retired at age 40 after stopping former ONE champion Zebaztian Kadestam in the co-main event at ONE Fight Night 36. The opening round featured mutual fouls and a low front kick that floored Kadestam, with Aung La landing effective kicks while Kadestam landed a strong right hand. In round two Aung La switched southpaw, pressed Kadestam against the ropes with spinning back elbows and knees, and forced a referee stoppage at 2:20 of the round. The last walkout featured Lay Phyu performing "Amae Like Akah" live. Aung La described the finale as everything he'd hoped for and more.
