ONE Fight Night 32: “I'm going to use all my tools” - Diego Paez says Johan Ghazali won’t know what hit him at ONE Fight Night 32

31-year-old Colombian-American banger Diego Paez says he plans on shocking Malaysian-American counterpart 'Jojo' Johan Ghazali when the two meet in the world's largest martial arts organization this weekend.

Paez says he wants to show Ghazali what's what, and that means throwing the kitchen sink at him in the ONE Championship ring.

Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin of Bangkok Post in a recent interview, Paez bared his strategic approach to throwing a monkey wrench in Ghazali's rise.

The 31-year-old Classic Fight Team representative said:

"Absolutely. I'm going to use all my tools. I'm going to stick and move. I'm going to use my footwork, and when it's time to sit down, bite down, best believe I'm going to do that as well. So, the fans are the ones who are in for a treat."

Paez is coming off a heartbreaking split decision loss to Sean Climaco last February in his ONE Championship debut. As such, the Colombian-American seeks his first victory on ONE's global stage, which could come at the expense of his Malaysian-American foe.
