Adriano Moraes wants to submit Demetrious Johnson at ONE 161

The headlining fight at ONE 161 will be a flyweight title showdown between Brazilian-born champion Adriano Moraes and challenger 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson. This bout is also quite unique as it will headline the first event ONE will broadcast on Amazon Prime Video.

The first time they met, Moraes won via knockout. Moraes said that this time he wants a submission victory against Johnson. Speaking to SCMP Martial Arts, Moraes said:

"Submit this time. If I got one knockout and one submission, for me, that's going to be perfect... The most important thing I always train is my jiu-jitsu. Because jiu-jitsu is in infinity so I need to train hard in jiu-jitsu... I like it to evolve, my jiu-jitsu. But my striking is going be there."

This ONE Championship event will be shared on Amazon Prime Video, this is to be the first of many more fight cards to come on the platform.
