Recently ONE Championship held open workouts in advance of its “Century” event, and both Brandon Vera and Aung La N Sang weighed-in on their upcoming bout.

The heavyweight champ Vera (16-7, 1 no-contest) will return to light-heavyweight to challenge N Sang (25-10) for that division’s title. At the open workouts, here’s what Vera and N Sang had to say about Sunday’s contest (quotes via press release).

Brandon Vera, ONE Heavyweight World Champion, stated: “In my entire career, I’ve dreamed of becoming a two-division World Champion and competing in Japan. Next week, I have the chance to fulfill both of those dreams. This is such a huge fight for me, the biggest in my career so far. Taking on Mr. Aung La for the ONE Light Heavyweight World Championship is an honor. I’ve trained very hard for this fight and I’m ready. It’s going to be an action-packed bout between two come-forward warriors.”

Aung La N Sang, ONE Light Heavyweight and Middleweight World Champion, stated: “The last time I was here in Tokyo, it was a memorable evening for me. I faced a Japanese warrior named Ken Hasegawa, whom I respect and hold in very high regard. Now, I will face an even greater challenge in veteran Brandon Vera. Without a doubt, Brandon will be my toughest opponent to date. But I believe in my coaches, I believe in my preparations. We’ve left no stone unturned and we’re ready to take care of business next Sunday night.”

“Century” will take place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan. Part I of ONE: CENTURY 世紀 starts at 9:00 a.m. JST (October 13) / 8:00 p.m. EST (October 12). Part II starts at 5:00 p.m. JST (October 13) / 4:00 a.m. EST (October 13).
