Adriano Moraes thinks that his next fight should be for the vacant ONE flyweight MMA world title
Before this match with the Filipino MMA standout, the American Top Team representative mentioned that if he gets the job done against him, his next fight should be for the 26-pound golden belt that MMA legend Demetrious Johnson vacated due to retirement.
He shared this sentiment in an interview with ONE Championship by saying:
"There will be other fights between other contenders to see who will be able to fight for the belt. But I believe that if I win this fight, the next one will be for the belt."
