Aung La N Sang says Colorado altitude won’t matter if he knocks Fan Rong out early

Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight world champion ‘The Burmese Python’ Aung La N Sang isn’t worried about heading up into high elevation for his next fight.

The Burmese-American mixed martial arts legend is headed to Colorado to compete at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs Moraes III on Prime Video. He is scheduled to face hard-hitting Chinese fighter Fan Rong in a middleweight contest.

The event will stream live and for free in the United States and Canada via Amazon Prime.

Speaking to The MMA Superfan in a recent interview, Aung La N Sang talked about fighting in high altitude in Colorado, and a simple solution he has for it.

‘The Burmese Python’ said:

“[Yes, I'll head to Colorado early], but not too early, about two-and-a-half weeks [before]. I’ll do the bulk of my training here [in Florida]. In the last two-and-a-half weeks, I’ll get there and acclimate. I’ll be fine. It’s just a three-rounder. If I knock him out in the first round we won’t have to keep fighting. I won’t have to worry about the altitude.”

Bold words coming from Aung La N Sang, but not unfounded. Aung La has 15 knockouts out of 29 career wins. He stopped Yushin Okami and Gilberto Galvao with first-round finishes in his most recent fights.

Against Fan, Aung La faces a well-rounded veteran adept at both striking and grappling, which poses a serious challenge for the Kill Cliff star.
