“I’m at peace with it” - Aung La N Sang reveals his next bout at ONE Fight Night 36

Win or lose, the 40-year-old veteran confirmed he will leave his gloves in the ring with zero regrets.

"There's only so many significant shots to the head you can take. In the fight, I don't give a crap, you know? But the time is coming, and the time is near, and it's okay. I'm at peace with it."

The former two-division MMA world champion has figured in plenty of memorable wars over the course of his illustrious 20-year professional career.

It's understandable why Aung La is erring on the side of caution, despite his passion for the sport still burning as bright as ever.

The father of four has reached a difficult but necessary decision. The Pride of Myanmar will leave the sport with a distinguished legacy. His meteoric rise in the home of martial arts has inspired an entire generation of martial artists in his homeland.
