Johan Estupinan has expressed confidence that his twin brother, Jordan Estupinan, will be able to deliver a stellar performance when he returns to action on the supporting card of ONE Fight Night 31 on Friday, May 2.
There, the Colombian striking prodigy is set to duke it out with Russian bruiser Ali Saldoev in a flyweight Muay Thai duel, happening live in U.S. primetime at the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
It can be recalled that Jordan made his successful promotional debut at ONE 170 this past January, going through the wringer with fellow up-and-comer Freddie Haggerty to pick up a hard-fought unanimous decision victory.
Recently, ONE Championship uploaded the highlights of the 22-year-old's maiden appearance on Instagram to heighten the anticipation for his next outing.

"My brother is ready to give us a great show."
Jordan Estupinan faces a win-hungry opponent in Bangkok
Like his twin brother, Johan, Jordan Estupinan showcases a striking style that's both electrifying and ruthlessly effective — perfect for thrilling crowds and finishing bouts.
But as Jordan looks to rise alongside Johan, currently the No. 5-ranked contender in the flyweight Muay Thai division, he'll face a crucial test against a formidable foe.
Ali Saldoev is no ordinary opponent. Training out of the prominent Fight Club Archangel Michael, the Russian made a statement in his first assignment at ONE 166 in March 2024, knocking out Zakaria El Jamari.
Though Saldoev suffered a setback in his sophomore outing, his explosive punching power is an aspect that Jordan cannot afford to take for granted in their upcoming encounter.
ONE Fight Night 31 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
