Tial Thang gets second straight win outside ONE Championship

15 May 2023

Tial Thang, the Burmese-born bantamweight fighter, has scored his second straight victory at All in Combat 2 in Los Angeles.

The former ONE Championship star has been competing in regional American promotions after his run in ONE Championship.

The 29-year-old was last seen in action at ONE Championship when he suffered a submission loss to Jeremy Pacatiw. However, Thang's form dipped after winning his first three fights for the promotion, and he is currently winless in his last three ONE Championship fights, although one of them was a no-contest.

Thang went back to fighting on regional shows in the US, where he made a name for himself. He has won both his fights outside ONE Championship, defeating Jose Hernandez and Nicko Commissiong in back-to-back fights. His fight against Jose Hernandez happened at LFA 156 and Thang had secured a unanimous decision victory at the event.

Aung La N Sang, who was at the corner of Tial Thang congratulated Thang for the win.

“Congratulations @tialzathang77 on another victory. Keep up the great work! Thank you @b_allen185 and @suzette__allen for putting on such a great show. Thank you to our trainers, coaches and teammates at @killcliff_fc,” Aung La wrote.

Thang trains alongside Aung La Nsang at Kill Cliff MMA in Florida and has expressed his gratitude to his trainers, coaches, and teammates at the gym for their support.
