ONE Championship asked fans who they want Adriano Moraes to fight next.
Moraes is a former 8x ONE flyweight world champion. Although his legacy in ONE has been solidified, ‘Mikinho’ suffered a major setback by losing the trilogy bout against Demetrious Johnson at ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video. The 35-year-old Brazilian has no plans to retire, so the question is, what’s next?
ONE recently shared a highlight on Instagram of Moraes landing a flying knee on Johnson. The caption of the social media asked fans what should be next for the former world champion:
“Gotcha 😤 Who should Adriano Moraes face next? @moraesadrianomma”

The comment section was filled with various answers, including some saying:
“🙋♂️ where do I sign up??” - Reece McLaren”
“Kingad earned a rematch with him”
“@rodtang_jimungnon”
“Move up weight class. Fight bantamweight”
Adriano Moraes has 11 wins and eight finishes in ONE Championship but suffered two consecutive losses against Demetrious Johnson, ‘Mikinho’ needs a win to prevent people from questioning if his age is becoming a factor.
During the ONE Fight Night 10 lead card, Reece McLaren lost a pivotal matchup against Kairat Akhmetov. As a result, Moraes vs. McLaren would be intriguing, but it’s unclear what the promotion plans to do with the former ONE flyweight world champion.
For those that haven’t seen Moraes’ latest fight, the replay of ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III on Prime Video can be seen on Amazon Prime Video by North American subscribers for free.
