On January 24, Colombian fighter Jordan Estupinan went up to join his twin brother 'Panda Kick' Johan Estupinan on the world stage of ONE 170. With 'Panda Kick's promotional success looming over his head, Jordan entered his ONE debut carrying both the weight of expectation and determination to prove himself.
But if there's one thing the Estupinan twins have in spades, it's confidence. Not in their natural talents but in their work ethic. In a post-fight interview with LeapFrog Fight TV, Johan spoke of the determination and hard work that goes into their preparation:
"We are confident not because we believe we are better than everyone else. It's because we train so hard every single day until we cannot move anymore. Our hearts are about to explode every single day. We train, train, train with our coach. And that's the reason why we think we are very good and that's why we believe we are not going to lose. And to be honest, we are working towards being champions. I want to be a champion here."
