"A cool story on the line" - Johan Ghazali excited to witness close friends Stamp, Denice Zamboanga trade strikes in Bangkok

ONE 167 on June 7 is set to be a monumental card as Stamp Fairtex will be defending the ONE women's atomweight MMA world championship against longtime friend Denice Zamboanga and both fans and fighters are eager to watch it go down.

Among the ONE athletes excited to watch it take place is Johan Ghazali, the young Muay Thai phenom who is on a five-fight winning streak with four finishes.

Here is what Johan Ghazali had to say about the big-time matchup between Stamp and Zamboanga:

"It's cool to see. They were both training partners, sparring partners. So there's a cool story on the line there. How they would put it aside for a fight, I'm not too sure, but given their levels, I'm sure they won't find that too hard I guess."

When Stamp won the women's atomweight MMA world title against Ham Seo Hee in September of 2023, it was almost inevitable that the former Fairtex Training Center training partners would clash, and that is what fans will get come June 7.
