Timeline
Aung La Maung Nsang (အောင်လအန်ဆန်း; born on May 21, 1985) is a Burmese-American mixed martial artist.
He is currently signed to ONE Championship, where he competes in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions.
He is a former ONE Middleweight and ONE Light Heavyweight World Champion, and was the second two-division champion in ONE history, having held both belts simultaneously.
In 2003, he moved to the United States to study Agriculture Science at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
He made his MMA debut in 2005 and would go on to become a major star in his native Myanmar after signing with ONE Championship and winning two titles with the organization.
He is also one of the few Myanmar citizens with an international profile, given the country only began opening up to the outside world over the last decade.
Aung La was the subject of unprecedented national attention in the lead-up to the fight with Russia's then-middleweight champion Vitaly Bigdash, with billboards across Yangon featuring massive portraits of the two fighters.
Aung La made his professional debut in 2005, and soon built a reputation for his outstanding submission skills, earning himself the nickname of The Burmese Python.
Early in his career, Aung La fought for King of the Cage and Ring of Combat as well as other, smaller promotions.
However, his career got off to a slow start, with Aung La losing his first fight.

After the fight, he posed with a Kachin flag.

Aung La Nsang said he got his nickname of the "Burmese Python" while fighting in the Midwest.
A promoter from the Midwest asked where he was from and didn't know where Burma was.
Aung La Nsang told him Burma was where the Burmese Python is from and so the promoter started to call him that.
The geo-political sensitivities was not aware to the promoter.
Aung La Nsang said, "Of course the Kachin people want me to become the Kachin Python or the Kachin Lion, but you can't give yourself a nickname ... It just comes from the fans."
Aung La Nsang has no formal training in his home country's traditional art of Lethwei and only fought with his cousins and friends.
He said his uncle used to fight in Lethwei, but his experience was limited.
Aung La has often expressed his interest in Lethwei.
and stated being open to a mixed-rules MMA-Lethwei fight, which could happen as ONE Championship already held Lethwei fights, notably at ONE Championship: Light of a Nation.
He made his ONE Championship debut in June 2014 and has headlined multiple shows at the Thuwunna Stadium in Yangon since 2016.
After signing with ONE in 2014, Aung La Nsang returned to his home country of Myanmar two years later at ONE Championship: Union of Warriors, winning his bout to become a national hero.
On March 18, 2016, he fought in Yangon for the first time, beating Mohamed Ali by submission.
