“He doesn’t have a chin” - Johan Ghazali says Johan Estupinan won’t stand his power in ONE 170 slugfest

Johan Ghazali is confident his power will be a major factor in his pivotal matchup against Johan Estupinan in Bangkok.

The two young phenoms will square off in a flyweight Muay Thai matchup at the stacked ONE 170 card on Friday, Jan. 24, at Impact Arena.

In an interview with Andrew Whitelaw, Ghazali said he could easily find his way through Estupinan's flashy barrage once they're locked inside the Circle.

Ghazali added that while Estupinan is a blinding menace on offense, the Colombian spitfire often leaves his chin open for a possible haymaker.

"Johan Estupinan is a good fighter, very unorthodox, very sleek, fast, he has power obviously, but one thing that I notice about him is that he really doesn't have a chin. I'd say if we were to go toe-to-toe, it's not gonna be me getting knocked out," said Johan Ghazali.

Both Ghazali and Estupinan are known for their killer instinct inside the cage, and both fighters haven't been shy in throwing absolute bombs at every moment they see fit.

Ghazali is an impressive 6-1 in ONE Championship, with five knockout wins against Padetsuk Fairtex, Tai Sor Jor Piek Uthai, Temirlan Bekmurzaev, Edgar Tabares, and Josue Cruz.

Estupinan, meanwhile, is a perfect 4-0 in the promotion with three wins coming via knockout.

'Panda Kick' collected the souls of Kouta Omori, Sean Climaco, and Zakaria El Jamari on his route to his high-profile showdown against Ghazali at ONE 170.

Johan Ghazali believes he'll only need one shot to send Johan Estupinan to the shadow realm

Johan Ghazali has talked about the dangerous style that Johan Estupinan uses, and he's confident he'll need just one shot to take out his fellow rising star.

Estupinan is possibly the flashiest fighter in ONE Championship with his unorthodox offensive flair making for must-see television.

Ghazali, however, believes Estupinan's knack for the dramatic often leaves him to a technical striker's more polished game plan.

In an interview with Sportskeeda MMA, the Malaysian-American sensation said:

"There's a chance that I will catch him with something when he starts advancing because he leaves himself too open all the time. He's always exposed when he throws."
