Undefeated standout Johan Estupinan doesn't plan on needing all three rounds to defeat teen phenom Johan Ghazali at ONE 170, but he's prepared to go the distance if necessary.
ONE Championship returns to Impact Arena in Bangkok for a loaded fight card featuring three massive world title tilts, none bigger than the main event of the evening which will see Tawanchai put his ONE featherweight Muay Thai gold on the line against current featherweight kickboxing king Superbon in one of the most anticipated rematches of the year.

Speaking with ONE ahead of his highly anticipated fifth appearance with the promotion, Johan Estupinan made it clear that he's looking to make it an early night against Ghazali.
"I’ll be looking for the knockout in the first round," Estupinan said. "If he’s able to withstand my power, I’ll be ready for all three rounds."
Johan Ghazali is coming for Johan Estupinan's 'O' at ONE 170
Johan Estupinan goes into ONE 170 with a perfect 26-0 record in his professional career, four of those wins coming under the ONE Championship banner. But with all due respect to his previous opponents, none of them have had the explosive power that Johan Ghazali brings to martial arts' biggest global stage.
Kickstarting his ONE run in February 2023, 'Jojo' put together five straight wins, including KOs against Padetsuk Fairtex, Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai, Temirlan Bekhmurzaev, and Edgar Tabares.
Ghazali's impressive streak was snapped after suffering his first loss in ONE against Vietnamese standout Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat at ONE 167, but the Malaysian-American bounced back with a big first-round knockout against Josue Cruz three months later in The Mile High City.
With momentum back on his side, 'Jojo' is determined to earn his seventh win in ONE Championship and more importantly, take Estupinan's 'O' in the process.
ONE Championship fans can catch ONE 170 live on Friday, Jan. 24 at watch.onefc.com.
