Demetrious Johnson credits ‘great lifestyle’ for longevity in MMA career
At ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, Demetrious Johnson will look to close out his rivalry with Adriano Moraes by having his hand raised in their trilogy match.
Since arriving in ONE Championship, Johnson has added a whole new chapter to his already legendary career that’s been defined by his pair of classic contests with Moraes.
No opponent has even been able to defeat ‘Mighty Mouse’ twice. After already becoming the first man to knock him out, Moraes is looking to add the biggest win of his career on May 5 at 1stBank Center in Colorado.
Whilst Johnson’s status as one of the greatest of all time is already set in stone, the question remains: how long can he keep competing at the very highest level of the sport?
In a recent appearance on FOX 13 Seattle, Johnson spoke about the longevity of his career and what he attributes it to:
“I credit it to great training, the coaches, great lifestyle. The family’s support back at home with my wife and the kids and my mother-in-law and father-in-law. I’ve just been blessed with a healthy body and just been smart. I keep telling everybody, this might be the horse’s last ride, we shall see.”
The trilogy bout between the two flyweight greats will close out the stacked ONE Fight Night 10 card. The entire event will be broadcast live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.

ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson is giving fans the opportunity to win a pair of tickets for ONE Fight Night 10.
On May 5, ONE Championship will host its first ever event in the United States, and it’s bringing a stacked card with it. With the likes of Johnson, Moraes, Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Stamp Fairtex all set to compete in Broomfield, Colorado, it’s no surprise that it has already been announced as a sell out.

“Me and zeacon have partnered up to give you guys a cool giveaway. We’re giving away two free tickets to my sold-out fight in Denver, Colorado [on] May 5. The trilogy, Demetrious Johnson taking on Adriano Moraes, so you guys are probably wondering, ‘Mighty, how do I win these tickets? How do I win?’ I’ll tell you…”
Johnson added:
“All you gotta do is comment and tag three of your friends then go to zeacon.com, sign up there, and join under the mighty squad tag. We will announce the winner [on] April 10. For full disclosure, the tickets do not include flight and hotel, so you have to figure that out, but if you can’t make it to the fights or you don’t win the giveaway, don’t worry you can watch me fight on Amazon Prime, May 5. Good luck.”
