Apart from showcasing his fighting skills in his scheduled match this week, Johan Ghazali is also out to continue representing his Malaysian roots on the global stage.
He manifested it during the press conference for ONE 170 earlier this week, where he came in a traditional Malaysian outfit called the Baju Melayu. 'Jojo' hopes to draw inspiration from his heritage in coming up with a win.
The 18-year-old Rentap Muaythai Gym/Superbon Training Camp standout shared a video on Instagram of him wearing the outfit as he faced off with opponent Johan Estupinan, while also hyping the showdown and the significance of the match.

In the match on hand, he is going up against fellow rising star Estupinan, who is undefeated in four matches so far in ONE, with three of his wins coming by way knockout.
ONE 170 will take place at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, and is available on the ONE YouTube channel and Facebook (geo-restrictions may apply) as well as on watch.ONEFC.com.
Johan Ghazali vows to end streak of Johan Estupinan at ONE 170
Johan Ghazali seeks to become the first fighter to stop the winning run of fellow rising star Johan Estupinan at ONE 170 on Jan. 24 and push his name in the top rankings.
The Malaysian-American phenom made his intentions known in an interview with Sportskeeda MMA in line with his scheduled match, saying:
"I want to submit my name and make sure that I'm the only hype train that needs to be in contention for a spot in the rankings. Johan Estupinan is a hype train, too. I think we both are. But I want to show people the real Johan hype train at ONE 170 on January 24."
Ghazali made his promotional debut in February 2023 and has won six of seven matches, five fashioned by way of knockout.
