Ghazali is coming off a three-round unanimous decision loss to 'Panda Kick' Johan Estupinan last January at ONE 170. But the Rentap Muaythai Gym representative wants to get that one back, or find himself ranked in the top five within the next few months.

Speaking to South China Morning Post in a recent interview, Ghazali made his intentions clear.

"Honestly, everything in these next fights is to set me up for a rematch, or if not, you know, I just want to be top-five ranked this year, hopefully."

He told SCMP MMA:

"I don’t want to make excuses, but last fight camp, I was going through a lot of change. I switched camps, I switched coaches, I switched a lot of things. So I was pretty proud of how I did in that fight, honestly, considering all the stuff I was going through. But this fight is a lot more chill, a lot more easier. So yes, a better Johan for sure."
