Demetrious Johnson shares update on his conditioning heading into Adriano Moraes trilogy

Reigning ONE flyweight world champion and mixed martial arts legend ‘Mighty Mouse’ Demetrious Johnson is geared up and ready for his upcoming world title defense, based on updates he shared in a recent interview.

Johnson is set to throw down with former flyweight titleholder and rival ‘Mikinho’ Adriano Moraes in the main event of ONE Fight Night 10 next month. The event will be broadcast live from the 1stBank Center in Colorado on May 5. It will also marks ONE Championship’s highly anticipated on-ground U.S. debut.

Speaking in a guest appearance at FOX 13 Seattle, Demetrious Johnson bared that he was on point both physically and mentally, and that his conditioning is right where it needs to be at this juncture in his camp.

‘Mighty Mouse’ said:

“Right now we’re three weeks out before I take off to Denver. Obviously, high altitude so I got to make sure I’m in great shape and no injuries. When I get there make sure I get my body acclimated to the high altitude and just go through the motions, start dieting out, cut the calories, and get the body ready for optimum performance. Just go out there and perform on May 5.”

Johnson and Moraes are split in their rivalry with one win apiece. Moraes drew first blood by knocking Johnson out for the first time in his career in 2021 courtesy of a knee. Johnson returned the favor in 2022, stopping Moraes with a flying knee of his own to capture the golden belt.

Now, they have a chance to settle the score once and for all in an all-important trilogy match of epic proportions.

ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs Moraes III airs live and for free to fans in the United States and Canada via Amazon Prime.
