ONE Championship 118: Reinier De Ridder submits Aung La N Sang to capture middleweight title

Dutch grappling ace Reinier de Ridder told anyone who was prepared to listen that he would take down and submit two-division ONE champion Aung La N Sang, and he made good on his promise as he dramatically dethroned the ONE middleweight champion in Singapore.

De Ridder (13-0) wasted no time in taking the defending champion to the mat, before controlling “The Burmese Python” and eventually working his way to N Sang’s back.

Once there, the Dutchman patiently worked his way toward a submission as he fought hands with the Myanmar athlete before locking up a rear-naked choke that forced N Sang (26-11) to tap out and concede defeat at the 3:26 mark of the opening round.

De Ridder’s win snapped N Sang’s seven-fight win streak in ONE, and saw him crowned ONE middleweight champion as he extended his undefeated record and claimed the 10th submission finish of his career.
