Former ONE flyweight world champion ‘Mikinho’ Adriano Moraes believes making some crucial adjustments in his next fight will bring him victory.
Moraes is set to face the reigning ONE flyweight king and overall mixed martial arts legend ‘Mighty Mouse’ Demetrious Johnson for perhaps the third and final time when the two meet in the main event of ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video.
After their first two fights ended in highlight reel flying-knee knockouts, Moraes believes the third encounter between them will prove who is the rightful ruler of the division.
In a recent interview with John Morgan of MMA Underground, Moraes talked about making some changes to his strategy for the all-important trilogy match in order to produce a better result.
