Johan Ghazali refuses to test his luck against Johan Estupinan's "good hands" at ONE 170: "It can land with power"

Johan Ghazali knows that he cannot afford to throw caution to the wind in his return to action at ONE 170.

The young star has made a name for himself under the ONE Championship banner at such an early stage of his career.

He's done that by putting a heavy pace on his opponents and landing big, aggressive shots to try and get them out of there.

'Jojo' isn't planning on changing his approach ahead of Jan. 24 at Bangkok's Impact Arena but he does acknowledge that he'll need to be calculated.

Ghazali is set to face off with fellow knockout artist Johan Estupinan, who throws every single strike to try and separate his opponents from consciousness.

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda MMA ahead of their flyweight Muay Thai war, Johan Ghazali spoke about the boxing of Estupinan in particular and how he is keeping track of it:

"I think although I can guarantee you that I will come for the knockout, I have to watch out for Estupinan's ability to swing. I'll always have to keep that in mind when I'm on the attack. He has good hands and it can land with power, you know."

Johan Ghazali might have to wade into the fire

Johan Ghazali may have no choice but to go up against the dangerous hands of his next opponent when they collide in a fan-friendly contest.

We have seen Johan Estupinan in some wild and incredibly entertaining brawls during his short time in ONE Championship.

'Panda Kick' is certainly not afraid to engage in fast and frantic exchanges that have paid off for him thus far.

For Ghazali to get the better of these moments, he may have to put himself in danger whilst staying switched on so that he can exploit some of the reckless tendencies from Estupinan.
