Fans are excited to see twin brothers Jordan and Johan Estupinan compete on the same card this week. It is the latest turn of what has been an inspiring life journey for the two Colombian fighters.
The two, who were left in an orphanage at a young age because of poverty until they improved their lot through martial arts, are featured in separate matches at ONE 170 on Jan. 24 at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
Johan Estupinan seeks to continue his four-fight undefeated run in ONE Championship in a marquee flyweight showdown against fellow rising star Johan Ghazali. Brother Jordan, meanwhile, makes his promotional debut in a flyweight joust against streaking British striker Freddie Haggerty.
The promotion recently shared a carousel of photos on Instagram, relaying the tough but inspiring journey of the twins early in life for fans to have a better appreciation of what they have done in their careers at this point.
