Aung La N Sang stops Leandro Ataides with impressive shots

Former two-division ONE World champion Aung La N Sang is back into action as the Burmese Python beat Brazilian giant fighter Leandro Ataides via knockout in their ONE Middle Weight clash of ONE: Battleground event at Singapore Indoor Stadium yesterday. Both fighters launched the fight with the colourful tactic.
Aung La N Sang mostly relied on the standing fight including kickboxing while the Brazilian fighter stayed on the ground fights.
Leandro Ataides has planned to take Aung La N Sang down on the floor but all of his attempts were failed under the strong punches of the Burmese Python.
Aung La N Sang threw high kicks in early minutes to prove that he is a king of the ONE Championship stand-fighters.
A minute in, Ataides shot Aung La N Sang for a double-leg takedown and pressed him to the fence. But Aung La took his best position again and pressed Ataides to the fence and landed a knee to break the stamina of the Brazilian fighter. With fabulous boxing skills, Aung La landed continuous left and right punches on the chest and face of Leandro Ataides at a 3-minute mark of the first round. The referee stopped the Middleweight contest after 3 minutes and 45 seconds in the first round when Aung La N Sang knocked out Leandro Ataides. With a win, Aung La N Sang was coming off back-to-back losses to Reinier de Ridder in which he lost his middleweight and light heavyweight belts previously.
The victory improved Aung La N Sang’s professional MMA record to 27 wins, 12 losses, and no draw while Ataides now has 11 wins and five losses. — GNLM
