“The recovery didn’t go really well” - Danny Kingad owns up to major blunder that cost him against Yuya Wakamatsu

Third-ranked ONE flyweight MMA contender 'The King' Danny Kingad of the Philippines knows he has to be more than prepared for his next fight, which is a really big one.

The 29-year-old Baguio City native and Lions Nation MMA co-founder says he learned a lot from his unanimous decision loss to Yuya Wakamatsu in January, which he will bring into his next fight against longtime rival 'Mikinho' Adriano Moraes next month.

'The King' told Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview:

"That’s one thing that I never want to experience again. Everything during fight camp was great, but the recovery didn’t go really well. I’m hoping that it never happens to me again. At the time, I felt very heavy after recovery so I wasn’t at my best during the fight."

Needless to say, Kingad is ready to be at his best when he steps back into the cage against Moraes, which can't come soon enough.

The two are ready to rehash their intense rivalry in the world's largest martial arts organization, and they can't wait to trade leather in front of millions of fans around the world.
