"He's definitely going to come to this fight ready" - Adriano Moraes believes Danny Kingad prepped for rematch at ONE 169

Adriano Moraes always comes into his fights focused and well prepared thanks to his experience and work rate.

The former ONE flyweight MMA world champion is expecting the same kind of dedication from his upcoming opponent.

After facing Demetrious Johnson in his last two fights, the Brazilian is now back to take on the other top contenders in the flyweight division.

At ONE 169 on Nov. 8, he will face Danny Kingad in a rematch of their first meeting six years ago. Moraes got the quick submission win that time around, but he knows that beating 'The King' for a second time will require him to be at his best.

In a recent interview with Combate before he makes his way to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, 'Mikinho' spoke about how both men are going to be more than ready for this high stakes encounter:

"I believe he's coming and he's well prepared for this fight just like us. He's already fought me, so he knows a little about my game, just like I know a little about his game, so he's definitely going to come to this fight ready."

Adriano Moraes is no stranger to the spotlight

His recent fights against Demetrious Johnson show how Adriano Moraes tends to deal with the pressure of a big fight.

In the biggest spotlight of his career, the Brazilian secured his best win when he became the first man to knockout Johnson. Therefore, the potential stakes hanging over this fight following his former opponent's retirement, which left the flyweight title vacant, isn't going to phase him.

Moraes has a job to do on Nov. 8, and that's getting past Kingad by any means necessary.

He'll be looking to make it a repeat rather than revenge when they collide for a second time.
