"As soon as I touch him he's gonna shoot" - Aung La N Sang doubts Shamil Erdogan can handle his dynamic power
Aung La N Sang is more than ready for his highly anticipated return to action on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver, where he will face Shamil Erdogan in a middleweight match at the Ball Arena in Colorado.
This readiness is echoed by his confidence heading into the clash, as he is confident about his striking supremacy against the undefeated Turkish fighter.
In an interview with Nick Atkin's ONE Championship News before the match, the former two-division MMA world champion claimed that Erdogan would immediately go back to his bread and butter of wrestling once he lands a clean strike on him during the early phase of their bout.
'The Burmese Python' claimed:
"As soon as I touch him he's gonna shoot right in. And we'll fight everywhere. It's not gonna matter."
