Johan Estupinan and Johan Ghazali figured in a thrilling flyweight Muay Thai battle last Jan. 24 at ONE 170, but the former came away with a convincing unanimous decision victory in front of the sold-out Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Because of how entertaining their fight was, Estupinan is not closing the possibility that he and Ghazali might cross paths once more, especially when the world's largest martial arts organization matches them up for the second time.
However, the Colombian striking star believes that he will have an easy task on reasserting his mastery over the Malaysian-American teenager. He declared this during his post-fight interview with veteran journalist Nick Atkin by saying:
"Yeap. I have no problem fighting him again. If the company wants me to fight again, I'll do it. But trust me, now that I know how to fight him, it's going to be easier."

Johan Estupinan lauds Johan Ghazali's granite chin during their fight at ONE 170
Although he vowed to make their possible rematch a breeze, the JCFernandez and Team CSK representative still have 'Jojo' his own flower for showing incredible durability from his powerful punches.
During the same talk with Nick Atkin, the 22-year-old athlete admired the granite chin of Ghazali and how he survived his best blows during their match, as he explained:
"I saw him shaking and I went for it. But, to be honest, he's very very strong. He's very powerful and can take a lot of punches. He took some of my best punches."
