Moraes is one of the longest-tenured flyweights in ONE Championship. On his journey to superstardom, Moreas saw three world title reigns and multiple world title defenses in his storied MMA career.
His most recent trilogy with Demetrious Johnson, however, is the most memorable.
They had an amazing back-and-forth rivalry that filled up the seats in the stadium on more than one occasion. However, now with the flyweight crown there for the taking, Moraes is ready to prove why he's deserving of a fourth world title reign.
