Aside from his flyweight Muay Thai battle with fellow rising star Johan Estupinan on Jan. 24 at ONE 170, Johan Ghazali is also looking forward to one particular match on the card - a surefire banger between Seksan Or Kwanmuang and Soe Lin Oo.
Johan Ghazali talked about this 'Art of Eight Limbs' gem between two knockout specialists during his recent talk with Sportskeeda MMA, and he is explicitly rooting for Seksan, whom he believes will unleash chaos inside the ring against the 'Man of Steel.'
The 18-year-old shared:
"Seksan against the Burmese guy is going to be a fun scrap. But I don't see this going any other way than good performance from him. I believe he'll be at his best. He will be ready to produce war in this fight to get the win."

Both 'Jojo' and 'The Man Who Yields To No One' are coming off victories from their recent outing at ONE 168: Denver, with the former knocking out Josue Cruz and the latter beating fellow legend Liam Harrison.
Johan Ghazali reveals his grand plan in 2025, beginning with a win against Johan Estupinan
During the same discussion with Sportskeeda MMA, the Rentap Muay Thai Gym and Superbon Training Camp-affiliated athlete has also revealed his main goal for this new calendar year.
Johan Ghazali aims to earn a spot in the top five rankings of the loaded flyweight Muay Thai division, and he plans to gravitate towards it with a win over 'Panda Kick,' as he explained:
"A victory here will, hopefully, give me a chance to break into the top five. That's what I want this year. My main goal in 2025. And if I don't get it here, I will attempt to do so in the next fight or whatever that comes after."
ONE 170 will be available via watch.onefc.com. The blockbuster card goes down inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, on Jan. 24.
