In The Gym: Is PRIDE GP Crown in the Stars for Kang?

Who is the real Denis Kang (Pictures)? Is it the inconsistent fighter that was 7-7-0 (1 NC) in his first 15 fights, or is it the explosive middleweight who's rattled off 18 wins (16 before the final bell) in his last 19 bouts.

Looking to continue his impressive streak, Kang is just one of four remaining 183-pound mixed martial arts in contention for the PRIDE Welterweight Grand Prix belt.

Should the Canadian transplant, now fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla. for American Top Team, win Sunday's PRIDE crown, you can bet Kang's up-and-down start will the among the last things mentioned when people discuss him.

Sherdog Insider traveled to South Florida where Kang readied himself for the possibility of fighting twice in one night. He's guaranteed at least one versus Akhiro Gono, and a win over the Japanese veteran should pit him, barring unforeseen injury, against Paulo Filho (Pictures) or Kazuo Misaki (Pictures) with the title on the line.

Ricardo Liborio (Pictures) and ATT boxing coach Howard Davis Jr. round out this exclusive video by sharing great insight into the 29-year-old fighter, who fell on hard times after the shocking death of his ex-fiancee Shelby Walker (Pictures).

If you're a Kang fan or you simply want to see what these fighters go through in hopes of reaching the top, this is a must-see video.
