Abdelaziz works with ONE Championship and aids the Asian promotion to fill its roster with the best talent. He also manages Henry Cejudo, who helped Demetrious Johnson prepare for this fight.
Johnson avenged his defeat that took place in April 2021 when 'Mikinho' stunned the world with a KO to win the ONE flyweight title. This time around, however, the former UFC champion delivered a brutal flying knee to knock Moraes out in the fourth round.
Speaking with Mitch Chilson following his incredible victory, Johnson discussed how he felt about the fight:
“So, like I said guys, I’m very humble. I get beat up all the time in the gym. They humble me. With this game plan, it was a very hard camp. Just walking him down, taking shots, eating shots. This one when he took me down, he is not going get past my guard. That is when I got the good elbow and I caught him. I just kept on working. I felt great.”
