Danny Kingad says there's only one outcome if all goes to plan vs Adriano Moraes: "The goal is to knock him out"
Danny Kingad is ready to add another defeat on Adriano Moraes' two-fight skid with a career-defining KO victory at ONE 169.
The Filipino favorite returns to action on November 8 at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, for a chance to demote Moraes from his No.1 spot in the divisional rankings.
Defeating a former ONE flyweight world champion like Moraes won't be an easy task, especially after having already lost to him via stoppage seven years ago. With high expectations set, Kingad intends to please the fans with show-stopping finish in any way, shape, or form.
Speaking to ONE, Danny Kingad said:
"It's all about executing everything that I've trained for in this fight. As I've said, the goal is to knock him out."
Danny Kingad may not have the type of winning streak he would like, but he is the perfect contender to give Moraes a run for his money. Lately, 'The King' has demonstrated that he's one of the most improved fighters under the promotion.
A former Wushu national champion, Kingad has used his skills in the Chinese art to wreak havoc on some of the most dangerous contenders. However, in the last few years, he's added a strong ground game to support his striking.
Showing growth in the areas of wrestling and jiu-jitsu, Kingad has the potential to take control of a fight on the feet and on the ground. So already, it's a stark difference to the type of fighter he used to be when he first fought Moraes in 2017.
"Train smarter and harder" - Danny Kingad enjoys every aspect of training including the food

The 29-year-old standout has never lost sight of his goal of becoming the next flyweight MMA world champion. Despite bouncing back and forth between wins and losses, 'The King' remains one of the most determined athletes on the roster.
After a close match with Yaya Wakamatsu, that could've really gone either way, Kingad is happy to show the same first-class abilities against a former foe.
Happy with his team and the support around him at Lions MMA facility in the Philippines, Kingad shared the following series of photos on Instagram saying:
