Danny Kingad wants to showcase his new striking skills against Adriano Moraes: “I’m going to get my hands raised”

Danny Kingad is gunning for a quick night at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug on November 8 when he goes head-to-head with Adriano Moraes.

Knowing that he's lacking in terms of finishes throughout his long-career in the promotion, Kingad realizes that this would be his best chance to score an impressive finish to ensure he will get his hands raised in the end.

For that reason, the Lions Nation MMA representative has been laser-focused on sharpening his punches with different boxing coaches, Don-Don Colas in Manila and Tex Gonzaga at Tiger City Boxing Gym.

In an interview with ONE Championship, 'The King' said:

"Right now, I’m working with boxing coach Don-Don Colas to work on power. That’s what I’m working on today. That’s the reason why I also head to Manila to train with boxing gyms here to learn more."

And with that in mind, Kingad knows it all boils down to confidence when he puts everything on the line into his rematch against Moraes.

He added:

“This is going to be a great fight. This time I’m looking for that knockout win. I’m going to get my hands raised afterwards.”

ONE 169 will be available live in U.S. primetime and free of charge to all active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Danny Kingad jumps into an early start to prepare the fight with Adriano Moraes

Former ONE flyweight MMA world title challenger Danny Kingad knows that he has to be fully prepared when he goes into a rematch with the former divisional ruler and old nemesis Adriano Moraes.

Slated to clash at ONE 169 inside the Lumpinee Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand, early next month, the Filipino standout has started his training camp way before the scheduled fight, as he told One Sports recently:

"I started training early for this fight, and now I have the luxury to cover everything, particularly when it comes to grappling and submission attempts because I'm facing a very good grappler."

And with that realization, Danny Kingad vs. Adriano Moraes II will be an interesting fight to see how much the 29-year-old fighter improves.
