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.
