ONE flyweight MMA megastar Adriano Moraes proudly owns six submission finishes in 10 victories, which includes a stunning rear-naked choke of Filipino standout Danny Kingad at ONE: Legends Of The World in November 2017.

'Mikinho', then defending the ONE flyweight MMA world championship, was wary of trading blows with the renowned striker. However, Moraes' Brazilian jiu-jitsu mastery (BJJ) eventually emerged and methodically worked his way to the submission with seconds to spare in the first round.

Moraes then went on to star in a highly acclaimed trilogy with now-retired MMA icon Demetrious Johnson over the 135-pound MMA crown.

Meanwhile, the Lions Nation MMA star slowly rebuilt himself by posting eight wins in 11 fights since the defeat to the American Top Team and Constrictor Team product.

Seven years since they last shared the circle, Moraes and Kingad will renew hostilities at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Nov. 8 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.


Lito Adiwang names Danny Kingad's biggest edge ahead of Adriano Moraes rematch

ONE strawweight MMA star Lito Adiwang recently shared Danny Kingad's keys to earning his revenge over Adriano Moraes at ONE 169.

'Thunder Kid' shared in a recent interview:

"Unlike when it's been a while since you lost, so you kind of moved on already and accepted the loss already. Your confidence level will go down, so I think that's Danny's edge in this fight. The hope is that it's not the other way around, where Adriano cultivated that fire for a longer time."

Adiwang continued:

But I think over the past year, Adriano has settled on teaching mostly more than training."

ONE 169 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
