Aung La N Sang is ready to unleash chaos once he's locked inside the cage against Shamil Erdogan at ONE 168: Denver. The Burmese legend will take on the undefeated Turkish star in a pivotal middleweight MMA contest on Friday at Ball Arena.
In an interview with Nick Atkin, Aung La said he and his team at Kill Cliff FC have done their homework and studied every possible approach Erdogan might have in their fight.
Aung La, a former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight MMA world champion, pointed out that they simulated Erdogan in training camp and he's more than prepared to throw everything plus the kitchen sink at the Turkish fighter.

"I'm prepared for everything. I've had a great training camp and great training partners. They’re very high-level guys, so I'm prepared for anything. I’m prepared to go all three rounds and prepared to go hard all three rounds," said Aung La N Sang.
The winner of four of his last five fights, including a streak of three straight knockouts, Aung La looks to put down Erdogan in Denver in hopes of securing a shot at triple-champ Anatoly Malykhin's ONE middleweight MMA world title.
Aung La is one of the greatest fighters in ONE Championship history, and his mark of 13 finishes is second behind ONE lightweight and welterweight MMA world champion Christian Lee's tally of 16 for the promotion's record.
Aung La N Sang says preparing for Shamil Erdogan made him a better fighter overall
Although he's yet to touch gloves with Shamil Erdogan, Aung La N Sang believes the work he did in training camp already made him a better fighter than he previously was.
Aung La said Erdogan's high-level grappling and intense versatility fueled his desire to improve ahead of their Denver showdown.
He said during the card's press conference earlier this week:
"Yeah, Shamil is an amazing opponent, and he's made me a better fighter. You know, very high-caliber wrestling from Dagestan. So we know what that kind of fighter brings to the table."
