"I have fought very strong opponents" - Taiki Naito confident battle-tested resume gives him a trump card over Johan Estupinan

Taiki Naito believes his experience will be a key factor in defeating the undefeated Johan Estupinan.

Throughout his run in ONE Championship, the 'Silent Sniper' has gone toe-to-toe with some of the P4P best strikers of all time, including Jonathan Haggerty, Superlek, Kongthoranee Sor Sommai, and Elias Mahmoudi.

Naito will add another notable name to his resume at ONE Fight Night 32 when he meets Estupinan inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

Speaking with Nick Atkin of the Bangkok Post, Naito was asked about his reputation for taking on the best of the best and whether or not that will play a role in his clash with 'Panda Kick' on June 6.

"Johan may be unbeaten and dangerous, but I have fought very strong opponents before who Johan Estupinan never fought," Estupinan said. "So that’s going to be the difference."

Taiki Naito expects Johan Estupinan to come out swinging at ONE Fight Night 32

Expecting Johan Estupinan to come out aggressive and start swinging from the get-go, Taiki Naito is more than ready to step up and throw hands with the 27-0 Colombian sensation.

“I don’t think [Estupinan is] a particularly technical fighter, but I expect him to come swinging with momentum," he said. "That’s why he’s a really good opponent to test myself against now.”

Naito will look to snap a two-fight losing skid in the art of eight limbs after coming up short against Dedduanglek and Kongthoranee.

Meanwhile, Estupinan is looking to land his sixth career win in ONE Championship and his second of 2025 after delivering a dominant unanimous decision victory over teen phenom Johan Ghazali at ONE 170 in January.

ONE Fight Night 32 will air live on ONE Championship’s YouTube channel, the ONE Super App, and watch.onefc.com on Friday, June 6.
