"You know, like I said, I’m just a fighter. I’m just there to fight. I don’t want to be there between the businesses and stuff. Resume-wise, I’m happy with what ONE Championship did for me and how they helped me throughout my career."

Needless to say, fans can't wait to see Adriano Moraes back in action, and they won't have to wait long to witness the American Top Team veteran doing what he does best.
