Danny Kingad is taking "the necessary steps" to ensure he brings his A-game in his crucial flyweight MMA fixture against Adriano Moraes.

Since then, the Filipino superstar has endured many more ups and downs in his ONE Championship tenure, leading to a massive opportunity in his near future.
On Nov. 8, ONE 169 will feature Kingad taking on Moraes. Heading into the matchup, Kingad and Moraes are coming off losses, with the latter suffering a world-title defeat against Demetrious Johnson and the former coming up short against Yuya Wakamatsu.
