"More calculated and patient" - Johan Ghazali to show off technical skills against firecracker Johan Estupinan

Malaysian-American Muay Thai sensation Johan Ghazali plans to play the matador role in his upcoming flyweight Muay Thai showdown against Johan Estupinan on Jan. 24 at ONE 170, which goes down inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.

Acknowledging the aggressiveness and all-out attack approach of his Colombian opposition, Ghazali plans to rely on his technical ability to set up a trap and potentially secure a knockout finish against Estupinan.

'Jojo' discussed this during his recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, where he stated:

"I think up against someone who loves going forward, I will have to rely on a more technical approach. A bit more calculated and patient. That will help me set up my knockouts the longer the match progresses."

Johan Ghazali is coming off a bounce-back win against Josue Cruz last Sept. 7 at ONE 168: Denver with a first-round knockout to return to the winner's circle and collect his sixth triumph under the world's largest martial arts organization.
