“I’m gonna say yours m***********” - Reece McLaren calls out former flyweight MMA king Adriano Moraes after ONE Fight Night 26 win

Reece McLaren wasted no time adding fuel to the fire following his win at ONE Fight Night 26.

The Australian star secured a split decision win over ONE interim strawweight MMA world champion Jarred Brooks in their flyweight MMA contest this past weekend at the historic Lumpinee Stadium.

Following his win, McLaren decided to call out former ONE flyweight MMA world champion Adriano Moraes the only way he knew how.

Reece McLaren told ONE Championship in a backstage interview:

"Oh yeah, I want Adriano. He said he was gonna say my name and he didn't. So I'm gonna say yours m***********! I want you Adriano."

McLaren and Moraes are two of the longest-tenured stars in ONE Championship, with both fighters starting their promotional runs just within two years of each other.

Moraes debuted in ONE Championship in 2013 while McLaren started his run in 2015.

McLaren started his ONE Championship career at bantamweight and even challenged then-holder Bibiano Fernandes for the ONE bantamweight MMA world title in 2016.

He ultimately moved down a weight class in 2017 and has since racked up nine wins in the flyweight MMA division.

Moraes, meanwhile, was a former ONE flyweight MMA world champion and held the gold across multiple reigns from 2014 to 2022.

Although they've been in the same division since 2017, Moraes and McLaren have never faced each other in ONE Championship.

Nevertheless, the pair are on a potential collision course and it won't be improbable to see these two promotional OGs battle it out in 2025.

ONE Fight Night 26 is available on free replay to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
