'Jojo' said:

"Maybe stay a little bit patient and wait for the finish. But it’s going to be hard to just ‘wait’ because he’s going to come forward. So, yeah, as soon as the finish comes, I will be in search of the KO."

Needless to say, when Ghazali is on point, he can be one of the best fighters in the world. Fans won't have to wait long to see the Malaysian-American rising star back in action in the world's largest martial arts organization.
