Myanmar MMA legend Aung La N Sang trains at one of the greatest gyms on earth, Kill Cliff FC. World-renowned talents often train together, such is the case with Petr Yan and Fabricio Andrade at Tiger Muay Thai in Phuket, Thailand.

There's no debating the fact that Yan and Andrade are two of the very best bantamweights active today. The former is the No. 3-ranked UFC bantamweight, while the latter is the top bantamweight contender in ONE Championship.

The prospect of these two facing off one day isn't totally out of the question, despite them being teammates. That's especially the case given reports that the Russian may be seeking a UFC exit soon.

Aung La shared his thoughts on the topic with The MMA Superfan:

"That’d be great for the bantamweight division, right? Fabricio Andrade vs. Petr Yan. But the only problem is they’re both from Tiger Muay Thai. If it’s a title fight, they won’t care."
