"If he lands that bomb, it's good night" - Kill Cliff striking coach says Aung La N Sang is just one punch away from a KO win in Denver
Nobody knows Aung La N Sang's insane knockout power more than his striking coach, Jason Strout, who has spent countless hours honing the Burmese fighter's stand-up game before he steps back into action at ONE 168: Denver.
The Kill Cliff FC striking coach, a former professional kickboxer and Muay Thai striker is even confident that the former two-division MMA world champion will enjoy a quick night out in the office when he meets undefeated Turkish sensation Shamil Erdogan in a middleweight MMA fixture inside the Ball Arena on September 6.
In a recent clip published on Aung La N Sang's YouTube channel, Strout called his shots, spoke highly of 'The Burmese Python's' stand-up weapons, and where their point of emphasis is on as his star pupil shifts into his final stretch of fight camp:
"He's a special guy. We're just fine-tuning the technique a little bit. We're just doing some drills, just getting hit, and flowing back and forth, blocking, and returning. Just tryna get him sharp for his fight. If he lands that bomb, it's good night."
The 39-year-old's fight in North America will be his 20th appearance under the promotional banner.
Since debuting in June 2014, he has enjoyed an impressive 15-4 record. 13 of his 15 triumphs have come inside the distance, further proving why he is, hands down, one of the most entertaining fighters on the roster over the past decade.
