“We have some odds in our favor” - Aung La N Sang says he must find a way to get past Shamil Erdogan’s physical advantages

Aung La N Sang is looking to bounce back from his most recent defeat against the same man to beat him this week. Aung La N Sang is set to face Turkish standout Shamil Erdogan at ONE 171: Qatar, and 'The Burmese Python' says he needs to find a way to deal with Erdogan's imposing strength and size, which will be his key to victory.

Speaking to Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post in a recent pre-fight interview, Aung La N Sang talked about Erdogan's advantages, and how he plans on dealing with them on fight night.

'The Burmese Python' said:

"Yeah, but it’s more, like, is it smart? You know, I’m given a lot of advantages but he’s the bigger guy, the longer guy, the reachier guy. So we must ensure we have some odds in our favor as well."

Needless to say, a lot is riding on Aung La N Sang's next fight. If he can beat Erdogan here, it will be a huge statement win and a great step forward to his ultimate goal of booking another shot at the world title.
