It doesn’t take a trained eye to realize Alain Ngalani is capable of incredible things inside of a cage.

Truthfully, you really don’t even need to know that he’s a multiple-time muay Thai world champion to surmise that if the hulking Ngalani hits an opponent flush, it won’t be a pretty sight. “The Panther” proved exactly that in September, needing just 11 seconds to dispatch of Hideki Sekine at ONE Championship 61.

Ngalani (3-3) returns to action on Nov. 3 at “ONE Championship 63: Hero’s Dream” at Thuwunna Indoor Stadium in Yangon, Myanmar, where he meets the promotion’s current middleweight world champion, Aung La N Sang (20-10), in an open-weight superfight billed as “the world champion vs. the giant.”

Ahead of that contest, and courtesy of ONE Championship, get to know a little more about Ngalani, whose background might surprise you.
