"I think for me, Adriano has to do what he’s good at. His footwork is there and he can use his punches to maintain his distance. We didn’t see too much of his grappling in the first two fights, maybe we can see more of that this time."

Danny Kingad's next bout in ONE Championship

Discussing MMA legend 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson, Kingad added, in the above interview:

"As for DJ, he’s a really open-minded fighter once he’s inside the cage. His thought process inside the cage is really broad. He may not be that strong on the ground or with his strikes, but he’s extremely technical."

'The King' Danny Kingad has a vested interest in the ONE flyweight world championship showdown as he may soon be fighting for the crown. However, first, he must get past Eko Roni Saputra. It will be no easy task as the Indonesian is riding a seven-fight win streak.

In Danny Kingad's next bout, he will face the talented Eko Roni Saputra. The fight is set for ONE Fight Night 7 on Prime Video, which will go down on February 24 at the iconic Lumpinee Stadium. The event will be broadcast live and for free on Prime Video for all Amazon subscribers across North America.
