When he fights in the country \u2014 as he has in his last four bouts \u2014 it has the feeling of a national event. The Burmese champion draws nationwide media attention and unfailingly packs Yangon&#8217;s\u00a0Thuwunna Indoor Stadium to the rafters.<\/p>\n<p>His next fight, which will pit him against the undefeated Mohammad Karaki in the main event of ONE: Pursuit of Greatness this Friday, will be no different.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/podcasts\/bjpenn-com-radio-ep-100-aung-la-n-sang-stephen-thompson-tj-dillashaw-colby-covington-eddie-bravo-tyson-pedro\/\">a recent episode of BJPENN.COM Radio<\/a>, Aung La N Sang discussed his status as a hero to his countrymen, and his upcoming fight.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/content.jwplatform.com\/players\/0frYibrp-kRPbd8ow.html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s motivating for sure,&#8221; he said of his status as a hero in Myanmar. &#8220;It&#8217;s motivating and it&#8217;s humbling, it&#8217;s something that I would never imagine or dream about. It&#8217;s hard for me to see myself like that. When I go to Burma, it&#8217;s like people are taking pictures and they&#8217;re all in your face, it&#8217;s kind of hard sometimes, but at the same time you have to understand that it comes with what I&#8217;m doing right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Aung La N Sang is honored to be considered a hero by his people, he doesn&#8217;t take his status as such lightly. The ONE two-weight champion believes it&#8217;s his duty to perform to the best of his ability for the millions of Burmese that look up to him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s 52 million Burmese around the world and I&#8217;m the only champion that they have so it&#8217;s important that, for me as a person, I need to do everything that I can to be the best that I can. Whenever I compete for them, I represent them. I have to represent them with integrity and work hard so that I can make them proud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, to me it&#8217;s motivating. To me, it&#8217;s motivating and it keeps me hungry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aung La N Sang admits that he pressure to deliver an impressive win for his countrymen can at times be difficult to deal with. That said, he says he&#8217;s gotten quite good at quieting all the noise when the cage door closes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot of pressure, but when I fight, I don&#8217;t put pressure on myself,&#8221; he said. &#8220;When I fight, I stay focused and I don&#8217;t dwell so much on the pressure. The thing is, I have in my career, I have 10 losses, and with the losses, you develop mental toughness. And I have to read sport psychology books and learned to put no pressure on myself when I compete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I don&#8217;t really feel that pressure when I compete, but of course, you turn the news on and you see like your match on TV and stuff like that, it is a lot of pressure. Everybody&#8217;s talking about it in the country, so it is a lot of pressure, but I try not to take it with me when I compete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Against the undefeated\u00a0Mohammad Karaki, Aung La N Sang is unlikely to have an easy time producing a win for his throngs of Burmese fans. That said, he feels he&#8217;s up for the challenge. Having trained under the tutelage of legendary coach Henri Hooft, and alongside monsters like Linton Vassell and Volkan Oezdemir, he feels well-prepared for the challenge at hand.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;My opponent is undefeated fighter, a Gracie [jiu jitsu] brown belt,&#8221; Aung La N Sang said of Karaki. &#8220;He has a good, strong grappling base, good ground and pound, and he&#8217;s a two-division champion in the Middle East as well. I&#8217;ve watched a lot of his matches and I really think that he&#8217;s going to come in and he&#8217;s going to lean towards taking it to the ground, since he&#8217;s more of a grappler. It&#8217;s going to be a fun match.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know how undefeated fighters have a lot of confidence?\u00a0It&#8217;s going to be good. And I like that. I like tough fights.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;He&#8217;s coming in from a different organization, he&#8217;s undefeated, he&#8217;s younger than me&#8230; so it&#8217;s going to be fun&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If Aung La N Sang is able to thwart Karaki at ONE: Pursuit of Greatness in Yangon, it will spark a celebration all across the country. Yet he doesn&#8217;t feel that that&#8217;s where his work ends. Outside of his fights, the two-division ONE champ is focused on improving the life of his fellow Burmese in other ways.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;[In Myanmar] we don&#8217;t have the same luxuries as people in America do,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have the same opportunity that a lot of the people do.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to bring opportunity to people in my country as well and I want to kind of change their mindsets,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I do plan on starting a scholarship program in Myanmar so the young kids can start training MMA, get a good education and have an opportunity to do what they love and to have food on the table and education taken care of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Catch Aung La N Sang back in action at ONE: Pursuit of Greatness this Friday. Just be prepared to turn your stream up if you want to hear the commentary over the deafening cheers of his legions of Burmese faithful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 10\/23\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ONE middleweight and light heavyweight champion Aung La N Sang is a hero to the people of Myanmar.
