American MMA stalwart and ONE atomweight contender Alyse Anderson will face Thai superstar Stamp Fairtex on the main card of ONE Fight Night 10. The May 5 event will be ONE's first live show on US soil and will be a huge one for 'Lil' Savage.'
Apart from facing a former world title challenger in Stamp, Anderson will also be in support of her teammate, Adriano Moraes, who is fighting in the main event.
Moraes will be challenging ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson in a trilogy bout for the ages. Needless to say, 'Mikinho' is going all out in his training leading up to the fight, something Anderson witnesses every day at their gym, American Top Team.

Speaking to ONE Championship, Anderson said of Moraes:
"He’s just awesome to watch because his pace is just like, being able to do four or five classes a day, in and out of fight camp, is crazy to me."
Most pro fighters preparing for a fight usually train three to four times a day, so they'd be in tip-top form come fight day. Moraes, however, is not like most fighters. The three-time ONE flyweight king is a savage amongst savages. Training four to five sessions per day can easily break any athlete, but not 'Mikinho,' especially when he's facing a flyweight GOAT like Johnson.
Alyse Anderson provides her prediction on Adriano Moraes vs. Demetrious Johnson III
At ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, Alyse Anderson will fight alongside her teammate Adriano Moraes on one of the biggest shows ONE has put together so far.
'Lil' Savage will square off with Stamp Fairtex, while 'Mikinho' will challenge Demetrious Johnson for the belt in the biggest trilogy bout in the company's history.
Needless to say, Alyse Anderson will be rooting for her teammate. Judging by how the first two bouts between Moraes and Johnson went, 'Lil' Savage' predicts:
“I see Adriano [Moraes] getting a late-round submission.”
Moraes, being a more natural 135-pound fighter, enjoys a huge size and weight advantage over DJ, which he's used effectively in their first two bouts. The former three-time ONE flyweight world champion was able to take 'Mighty Mouse' down and control him for a significant amount of time on the ground.
Since Alyse Anderson sees Adriano Moraes' training and working strategies daily, it pays to take her prediction seriously.
ONE Fight Night 10 goes down on May 5 at 1stBank Center in Colorado. The entire card is available live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.
