Three ONE World Title fights are set to ignite Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, this Friday, 24 January. ONE 170 features 12 exciting bouts across multiple disciplines, offering something for every combat sports fan.

The card features World Champions, top contenders, legends, and rising stars. Every single fight promises to have a significant impact on its division and fighters' futures. Before the event kicks off, let's have a look at three matchups that could steal the show.

Johan Ghazali Vs. Johan Estupinan

Every combat sports fan is eagerly anticipating the clash of the two Johans. Eighteen-year-old Johan Ghazali will face 22-year-old Johan Estupinan in a flyweight Muay Thai bout. This fight between two ultra-aggressive strikers is expected to produce fireworks, with a knockout finish almost guaranteed.

Ghazali has been on a tear since his first bout at ONE Friday Fights 6, securing six victories in seven bouts, including four highlight-reel knockouts. Meanwhile, Estupinan has quickly became a fan-favorite with his exciting fighting style, earning four straight wins and maintaining his undefeated streak.

Marcelo Garcia Vs. Masakazu Imanari

Widely regarded as the greatest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete of all time, Marcelo Garcia is set to return to active competition after a 13-year hiatus. He will face another decorated competitor in Masakazu Imanari, renowned for his trademark "Imanari roll," in an openweight submission grappling contest.

Garcia once overcame a nearly year-long battle with stomach cancer and is now gearing up for his return to action. The 42-year-old has accomplished everything that the sport has to offer. It will be an interesting match for grappling fans to watch two of the best in a thrilling contest.

Seksan Or Kwanmuang Vs. Soe Lin Oo

When Seksan Or Kwanmuang and Soe Lin Oo take centre stage in their catchweight Muay Thai bout, violence is inevitable. Known as "The Man Who Yields To No One," Seksan has a reputation of delivering absolute bangers.

He has won nine out of 10 fights in ONE. His opponent Soe Lin Oo secured three consecutive wins before losing his last match against Nabil Anane. Both strikers have competed in more than 350 bouts, a testament to their skills, fight IQs, and statures in the sport.
