“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.

At age 40, the pride of Myanmar was calling it a career in a co-main event showdown with another ex-ONE champion, Zebaztian Kadestam.

The opening round saw fouls landed by both men, the worst of the two sitting Kadestam down off a front kick that strayed low. Aung La found success with his kicks, Kadestam his right hand in a round that could be seen as fairly close overall.

The second round was a different story entirely.

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. Kadestam finally slumped to the ground after yet another offensive flurry, sitting down and wrapping his head in his hands, body language that ensured the ref would wave off the bout.

The end came at 2:20 of the second round, with N Sang saying shortly after that his final fight was everything he’d hoped for “and more.”

“Life is short, and these last 10 years have been amazing thanks to you guys,” he told fans in attendance in Bangkok, Thailand and watching at home.

As farewells go, it was an impressive one for Aung La N Sang, who will be remembered for wins over UFC title challenger Yushin Okami, UFC vet Brandon Vera, Bigdash, Kadestam and others. His reign as double-champ, which began with the ONE middleweight title in 2017 (he’d add the light heavyweight belt a year later) ran until 2020, when he lost first one, then the other belt to current UFC star Reinier de Ridder.

Aung La ends his fighting career with a record of 31-15, 1NC, having made four defenses of his two titles (three at middleweight, one at light heavyweight). He also picked up a $50,000 Performance bonus for his final MMA fight. In addition, ONE officials announced Aung La N Sang will join the company’s Hall of Fame later this year.

The card, streaming live on Prime Video, was headlined by a rematch between two-sport champ Prajanchai PK Saenchai and former strawweight kickboxing titleholder Jonathan Di Bella. While Saenchai had won the pair’s first encounter, Canadian-Italian Di Bella had picked up an interim kickboxing title since, making Friday’s clash a title unification bout.

In the co-main event, on the MMA side of things, a pair of former champions faced off. Aung La N Sang had claimed two titles under the ONE banner, and back when the promotion had a greater focus on MMA, was one of the company’s biggest stars. Zebaztian Kadestam was a former welterweight champion, who had been in the cage with some of the best, including Ben Askren.
