"Getting stronger, getting sharper" - Aung La N Sang teases a better version of himself against undefeated Shamil Erdogan

It has been some time since we last saw Aung La N Sang step inside the circle to compete in the middleweight division. The former champion isn't getting any younger but he has been using this time wisely.

As a veteran of the sport, he believes that he can continue to compete as long as he is improving between each fight and that's exactly what he has been working to do in his time away.

He was last seen at ONE Fight Night 10, where he got the opportunity to fight in front of the US fans at ONE Championship's debut event in the States.

Aung La is now set to return at the promotion's return to Colorado when he takes on Shamil Erdogan at the Ball Arena in Denver.

In a recent interview with Cageside Press, 'The Burmese Python' spoke about what fans can expect to see from him when he makes the walk once again:

"I've just been getting better, getting stronger, getting sharper. We're gonna see the new version of me. The better version of me."

Aung La N Sang isn't going anywhere just yet

Aung La N Sang may have achieved some incredible career highlights, but his longevity in the sport is just as impressive.

He may no longer be a two-weight world champion, but he's still right at the top of his natural weight class, middleweight.

Erdogan comes into this fight looking to maintain his undefeated record by securing his biggest win to date. That, however, is far easier said than done when you're standing across the cage from a competitor like Aung La.

The former champion is looking to add his Turkish opponent to his long list of notable wins in a fight that could propel either man into position for a title shot.
