On May 5, Adriano Moraes will once again look to close out a trilogy with a win as he meets division rival and reigning ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious Johnson. The two flyweight greats will headline ONE Fight Night 10, the promotion’s long-awaited U.S. debut.
Adriano Moraes struck first blood in April 2021, handing Demetrious Johnson his first career knockout loss at ONE on TNT 1. 16 months later, ‘Mighty Mouse’ snapped back, scoring his own highlight-reel-worthy victory over ‘Mikinho’ by way of a fourth-round flying knee KO.
With the series deadlocked at 1-1, fans will be treated to one of the biggest trilogy bouts in mixed martial arts history.
Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America can catch ONE Fight Night 10 live and for free in U.S. primetime on May 5.
