Only two bouts into his ONE Championship tenure and Johan Estupinan has developed a reputation for smashing through the competition. In fact, "Panda Kick" has wasted no time in going for the jugular, and he's taking the same approach into ONE 168: Denver.

The Colombian crusher makes his flyweight Muay Thai debut against America's Sean Climaco at Denver, Colorado's Ball Arena on Saturday, 7 September. Estupinan will enter enemy territory that night, but that won't dissuade him from knocking out his foe as quickly as possible.

"He'll fall quicker than Kouta Omori did in my debut. I'll look to drop him within the first 10 to 15 seconds. He'll be fighting at home, and people will be cheering him on, but I'm going after him," Estupinan said.

"I'll have the people of Colombia inside of my heart. I'm ready for war, and I'm giving it my all. This will be a movie, and it'll be crazy because I'm going to beat him in his own country. The entire world will be happy with my performance, and everyone will once again hear the name 'Panda Kick.'"

In Estupinan's debut at ONE Friday Fights 64 he ran through Omori in just 27 seconds to prove himself as an unrelenting threat to any opponent. And then just two weeks later, the 21-year-old outclassed Zafer Sayik at ONE 167, dropping him several times across three rounds.

This time around, he makes his flyweight debut in the promotion. He has already laid out a path to the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship, and he isn't willing to veer off it for anyone.

So when he steps inside the Circle against Climaco at ONE 168 in Denver this September, Estupinan has bad intentions, and he's making them known publicly with a message for his foe.

"Make sure you're ready because a train is about to steamroll you," he said. "I'm focused and ready for war. You need to be scared because you're standing in the way of my dreams and my career. I must take care of those who stand in my way."
