The comments section was immediately flooded with different names from fans, led by ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9, former ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion Petchtanong Petchfergus, and even second-ranked ONE bantamweight kickboxing competitor Ilias Ennahachi.

They wrote:

"Superlek vs Yoza would be such a high IQ match that would be fun."
"Petchtanong would be a banger!"
"@iliasennahachi, the winner will face Haggerty for the title!"

The hype around Yoza is supremely warranted as he is currently on a 10-fight winning streak, headlined by a third-round knockout of former ONE flyweight kickboxing king Petchdam Petchyindee last September.

Not only are the fans excited to see Yuki Yoza strut his stuff in ONE, but also the 27-year-old himself, who is training out of Team Vasileus — the gym founded by Japanese kickboxing icon and ONE star Takeru Segawa.

Shortly after his signing with ONE was announced, Yoza took to his Instagram account and posted a photo of the ornately decorated ONE world championship.
