Aung La “The Burmese Python” N Sang announced on Thursday, 2 July, that he tested positive for COVID-19.

The two-division ONE World Champion shared that he was tested on Monday, 29 June, and is now quarantining for 14 days along with his family.

“I had a slight fever, congestion, body ache, and fatigue on the first two days,” the Myanmar mixed martial arts superstar wrote on Instagram.

“Besides that, I am blessed that my whole family is doing well. We are really in this together and we will get over this.”

In the comments, Aung La N Sang also thanked his fans for their well-wishes and replied to fellow athletes like Reece “Lightning” McLaren to say he’s doing well.
