Flyweight Face-Off: The Epic Demetrious Johnson vs. Moraes III A Feud for the Ages
Moraes, a superstar from Brazil, is committed to unseating “Mighty Mouse” Johnson and regaining the ONE flyweight world championship. One of the two combatants lost consciousness in each of their previous two battles, which were both for the ONE flyweight world championship. At ONE on TNT I in April 2021, Moraes was the first to prevail, submitting Johnson with a nasty planted knee. Over a year later, Johnson evened the score by delivering the most poetic knockout of his illustrious career at ONE on Prime Video 1 in August 2022.
