Jeremy Pacatiw shares thoughts on what Adriano Moraes needs to do against Demetrious Johnson
ONE bantamweight contender Jeremy Pacatiw believes that pressure will be key to the upcoming flyweight world championship contest between Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes.
At ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video, Johnson and Moraes will face off for a third time as ONE Championship hosts its first event live from the United States. May 5 will bring an end to their trilogy, which has produced two incredibly high-level contests that were ended by two highlight-reel knockouts.
Sharing a win each, Johnson will look to defend his flyweight world championship against former champ Moraes in an unmissable main event.
In an interview with The MMA Superfan, Jeremy Pacatiw did his best to break down Adriano Moraes vs Demetrious Johnson 3 by looking at what the difference was in their last meeting.
He said:
“I think Adriano will try to stop DJ’s pressure because we saw in their last fight that DJ was the one constantly being aggressive. DJ was also in full guard but he was the one dealing the damage. But just shows how good DJ is because he was able to control Moraes’ hand that prevented him from throwing those heavy shots from the top.”
He added:
“Maybe Moraes should avoid getting controlled so he can throw his shots whenever they’re on the ground. Then yeah, find a way to stop the pressure that Demetrious is giving.”

Jeremy Pacatiw says both Fabricio Andrade and John Lineker will "have their hands full" against Stephen Loman
Ahead of ONE Fight Night 7, bantamweight contender Jeremy Pacatiw predicted that his teammate Stephen Loman would prove to be a tough test for the two men who were involved in the main event.
On February 24, Fabricio Andrade and John Lineker’s rivalry came to an end as the division finally saw a world champion crowned in ‘Wonder Boy’ Andrade.
In the time that Lineker and Andrade have been competing for the vacant title, Stephen Loman has proven himself to be the next in line, now targeting a clash with Andrade.
His fellow Team Lakay teammate Jeremy Pacatiw sees Loman as a tough fight for either of the two Brazilians and his performances inside the circle have backed this up.
In an interview before the events of ONE Fight Night 7, Pacatiw said:
"Whoever wins this is going to have their hands full against Stephen Loman. Both Fabricio Andrade and John Lineker will be in for a true test."
Following his victory over John Lineker, Fabricio Andrade addressed Loman directly, daring him to come and try to take the bantamweight world championship from him.
Loman’s victory over the division’s former champion Bibiano Fernandes proved his credibility as a world title challenger by scoring a dominant win that showcased his overall skill set.
