“It’s just that as a businessman, as a competitor, I’ve just got to start looking, weighing out options, you know.”

The 36-year-old veteran has been in the game for over a decade, competing at the highest level of the sport. There’s no doubt mileage and wear and tear on his body, but you wouldn’t have guessed it after seeing him compete in his last fight.

Johnson successfully defended his ONE flyweight world title against longtime rival ‘Mikinho’ Adriano Moraes at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video. The conclusion to this epic rivalry ended with Johnson taking home a unanimous decision after five rounds of action to take their trilogy 2-1.

‘Mighty Mouse’ put on a fantastic performance, dominating Moraes from start to finish with precise, well-calculated offense and an impeccable defensive strategy that negated whatever Moraes brought to the table.

It was a vintage performance from the former UFC flyweight champion and now reigning ONE flyweight king.

Fans in the United States and Canada can catch all the action and drama at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III for free via replay, only on Amazon Prime Video.
