Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight world champion Aung La N Sang is confident in his all-round skill set. The experienced contender is always looking to push himself in his training camps to ensure that he's always better than the day before.

Whilst his striking may be the facet of his game that he's most well known for, 'The Burmese Python' is no slouch when the fight hits the floor.

He's a submission threat as well as a knockout threat, as shown in his last outing at ONE's US debut at ONE Fight Night 10, where he submitted Fan Rong.

Undefeated Shamil Erdogan is sure to come into this fight with the confidence of a fighter that is yet to taste defeat. This isn't something that troubles Aung La, who is prepared to get the better of his opponent wherever the fight goes.

Aung La N Sang keeps the focus on himself

One thing that has been clear during the recent winning streak of Aung La N Sang is that he's only focused on himself.

As he said himself, he isn't concerned with what Shamil Erdogan is going to do in this fight because he believes that he can beat him at any range.

The ONE Championship staple keeps his head to the ground and looks to continue evolving as a martial artist with each training camp. This allows him to be present in the moment which, in turn, has allowed him to achieve incredible career longevity.

Erdogan will be in for a shock if he's expecting anything less than the very best that Aung La has to offer.

Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are available via Ticketmaster.
