ONE flyweight Muay Thai rising star Johan Ghazali doesn't seem all too impressed with his undefeated foe, Johan Estupinan.

The pair of striking prodigies' highly awaited collision will take place at the talent-stacked ONE 170 mega-event this coming Jan. 24 at Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Considered one of the most electric prospects in 'The Art of Eight Limbs', the insanely athletic Estupinan has bombarded every opponent in his wake en route to a perfect 26-0 start.

'Panda Kick' continued racking up victories in the home of martial arts, where he won four straight in highlight-reel-worthy fashion.

However, as far as Johan Ghazali is concerned, the Columbian's fan-friendly style leaves him quite vulnerable.

Appearing in an interview on Anything Combat, 'Jojo' said he plans to exploit those mishaps when they finally share the ring:

"From what I’ve seen in his past fights. He’s been clipped a few times in every fight. So if I hit him with the power that I have, I think he’ll go out."

Truth be told, Estupinan recklessly goes in the line of fire quite often. The 22-year-old is indeed willing to take some shots if it means he can also land some wild haymakers of his own.

Ghazali, meanwhile, has already displayed mind-numbing power in his 6-1 run under the ONE banner.

We'll soon see who emerges victorious in the battle of Johans at ONE 170.


Johan Ghazali says fireworks are guaranteed against fellow headhunter Johan Estupinan

Given both athletes' penchant for violence, there's a good chance this epic slugfest between two headhunters won't reach the distance.

Johan Ghazali, for one, has never been in a boring fight. The Rentap Muay Thai representative doesn't plan on being one anytime soon, especially since he's taking on fellow heavy-handed striker.

'Jojo' told Malaysian news outlet Bertia Harian:

"Fans can expect a crazy fight, that's for sure. It's going to be very entertaining. A battle of the young guns."
