"I'm gonna stay in his face" - Aung La N Sang says he won't give Shamil Erdogan any breathing room in Denver war

Former two-division MMA world champion Aung La N Sang believes aggression will be the key to handing Shamil Erdogan a first career defeat inside Ball Arena on Sept. 6.

'The Burmese Python' looks to take his winning run on the global stage to four in a row and announce himself as a main world title contender when he squares off against the undefeated Turk sensation at ONE 168: Denver.

While motivated to perform at his utmost best in the Centennial State, the Kill Cliff FC fighter expects nothing but a war against Erdogan, who got his ONE Championship campaign off to a sweet start at ONE Friday Fights 22 in June last year.

In a recent catchup with Cageside Press, 'The Burmese Python' admits he isn't fully sold on his foe's hype train, but he'll be ready to throw down in proximity wherever the fight unfolds.

Aung La N Sang said:

"I wanna feel everything he gives me and everything he throws at me. I'm gonna stay in his face, and I can't wait to touch gloves and go."

Shamil Erdogan confident he will stop Aung La N Sang at ONE 168: Denver

Taking out Aung La N Sang is never going to be an easy task for anyone. However, Shamil Erdogan believes his style is the kryptonite that could bring the former two-division world champion's winning streak to a screeching halt on Sept. 6.

In a separate interview with the promotion in the lead-up to this massive spectacle, the Dagestan-born Turk believes he'll be able to trap 'The Burmese Python' inside the distance.

The 34-year-old declared:

"I don't think the fight will last three rounds. I plan to finish the fight in the stand-up as I need the bonus. I want to ask Mr. Chatri [Sityodtong] to be ready. I'll KO him [Aung La N Sang] for the bonus."
