Ultimate bragging rights will be awarded to the winner of their rubber match. Demetrious Johnson plans to bring the fight to Moraes once again. He told reporters at the ONE Fight Night 6 on Prime Video post-event presser:
"When we looked at the first fight against him, we saw a lot of things, and then we were able to execute it in the second fight. In the third fight, I plan on doing the exact same thing, just being in better shape, faster, stronger, and taking the fight to him. Even though I'm the champion, I'm always taking the fight to my opponents."

Demetrious Johnson believes he has a lot more to offer in the fight game
Already considered one of MMA's pound-for-pound GOATs, 'Mighty Mouse' feels he has a lot more to offer in the sport. He revealed to ONE:
“A lot of athletes when they suffer a huge defeat and get knocked out, they get kind of gun-shy. But for me, I think I'm just getting more warmed up as a mixed martial artist and just getting better or that separates me, different from the others, people who are on the list of the greatest of all time.”
The 36-year-old is clearly still competing at the top of his game, and it appears he has zero intention of hanging up the gloves anytime soon. His upcoming bout at ONE Fight Night 10 is truly a legacy fight for the legendary fighter.
