9 Signs You Are A True Myanmar Martial Arts Fan
ONE Championship will make its way back to Yangon, Myanmar for another electric martial arts spectacle on Friday, 8 March.
The promotion is scheduled to hold ONE: REIGN OF VALOR at the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium, and there is no doubt the crowd will be red-hot for all the world-class athletes who step into the cage.
That should not be too surprising, however. Myanmar is known to have some of the most passionate martial arts supporters on the planet, and many of ONE’s heroes love competing in the country because of the spectacular atmosphere the fans add to the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium.
With that in mind, here are nine signs that certify you as a Myanmar martial arts fan.
#1 You have visited Aung La N Sang’s bronze statue, or plan to take a road trip to see the landmark monument
#2 You have seen the Yangon cityscape from Phoe Thaw’s rooftop gym
