The Lions Nation MMA representative said:
"I’m starting to pick up on my training now. I’m entering the hard stage of my training. Starting early is a huge advantage mainly because you won’t cram anything."
Kingad added:
"Because you have time to focus on everything, you’re not worried too much about your conditioning. Now all you have to do is focus on the game plan."
American MMA legend 'Mighty Mouse' Demetrious Johnson announced his retirement at ONE 168: Denver last September, effectively vacating the flyweight MMA gold.
Both Kingad and Moraes will look to jockey for pole position as the fate of the division hangs in the balance.
