Johan Ghazali has learned from his past mistakes.
After coming up short in two of his last three outings, 'Jojo' will look to climb back into the win column at ONE Fight Night 32 when he meets the always dangerous Diego Paez in a Muay Thai battle inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
The young Malaysian-American athlete stormed into ONE Championship with five straight wins, four of them ending inside the distance.

However, the 18-year-old teen phenom has seen some struggles as of late against more experienced opponents like Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat and Johan Estupinan.
Asked whether or not he expects Paez to deploy a similar game plan to previous opponents, 'Jojo' told Nick Atkin:
"Hell, you never know with this kind of fighters, you know. But, I feel like if anyone would want to win against me, they would try to copy that kind of style, but we're ready for it. You know, I've learned from my mistakes, and he can come at me with any style, you know. I'll be ready."
Johan Ghazali promises a new and improved version of himself at ONE Fight Night 32
Since suffering a frustrating unanimous decision loss at ONE 170, Johan Ghazali has been busy honing his skills at the world-famous Superbon Training Center in Bangkok, working alongside Trainer Gae and the reigning ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion.
Working alongside some of the greatest strikers and coaches on the planet, Johan Ghazali is confident that we'll see a new and improved version of himself at ONE Fight Night 32.
"You're going to see a new and improved Johan Ghazali, better in all aspects of my game," he said. "So, see you soon."
