Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes first fought in April 2021 after ‘Mighty Mouse’ won the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix. Johnson earned a world title shot for winning the tournament but couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity. Moraes secured a second-round knockout to retain the ONE flyweight world championship.
16 months later, they fought for a second time at ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II. ‘Mighty Mouse’ sought revenge against the only fighter to knock him out and accomplished his goal in the fourth round. Johnson landed a picture-perfect flying knee to dethrone Moraes and become the new ONE flyweight world champion.
The trilogy matchup will headline the sold-out event inside the 1stBank Center in Colorado. ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video can be seen live and for free by North American Prime Video subscribers.
