Chatri Sityodtong recalled the historic encounter between the two renowned fighters in an interview with CNN Philippines and expressed his desire for Brandon Vera to face Aung La again soon.

“Yes, of course, you know, Aung La N Sang and Brandon Vera was a barnburner of a fight. I don't know what happened. But that night it was clear that something was off in Brandon's cardio, so I think Brandon would like another shot. It's not every night you come out and you're on your A-game. That's not to take anything away from Aung La. It was an absolute war. And I think the fans want to see it again. And I think they want to fight again,” he noted.
