ONE Championship continued to pile up the talent for the already-stacked ONE 170 card when it announced the looming barnburner between Johan Ghazali and Johan Esupinan.
The two Johans will clash in a flyweight Muay Thai clash on Jan. 24, 2025, at Impact Arena.
ONE Championship announced the potential ONE 170 banger on Instagram:

Estupinan and Ghazali are two of the best young contenders in the stacked flyweight Muay Thai division and both have produced some of the most explosive highlights over the past couple of years.
Ghazali is 6-1 with five knockout finishes to his name in his career.
Starting on a five-fight winning streak, Ghazali suffered his first loss in the promotion when he fell to five-time Muay Thai world champion Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat.
Ghazali eventually bounced back with a knockout victory against Mexican slugger Josue Cruz at ONE 168: Denver in September.
Estupinan, meanwhile, is a perfect 4-0 in ONE Championship with three knockout wins to his resume.
The Colombian knockout machine is coming off a highlight-reel finish of Zakaria El Jamari at ONE Fight Night 25.
Both strikers have yet to crack the flyweight Muay Thai division's top five rankings. However, a win for either is more than enough argument to make their case to enter the upper fold of the division.
