Highlights: The ‘Greatest Match We’ve Ever Seen’ In ONE
ONE Championship 75 may have just played host to the 2018 Fight Of The Year.
Two-division champion Aung La N Sang defended his middleweight crown against Ken Hasegawa in the main event. Veteran play-by-play commentator Michael Schiavello couldn’t believe what he was seeing, saying the following (via MMA Junkie):
“Words can’t describe!” Schiavello said. “Suffice to say, Aung La N Sang vs. Ken Hasegawa was the greatest match we’ve ever seen!”
Don’t believe the hype? Just check out the side-by-side photos of Sand and Hasegawa’s faces after going to war:
Both men showed a tremendous amount of heart in the fight, but in the end Sang retained his title with a fifth round knockout after connecting on an uppercut.
