“Demetrious isn’t gonna get a third shot” - Chael Sonnen believes the pressure is on for Demetrious Johnson

Chael Sonnen explained that all of the pressure is on Demetrious Johnson in his rematch against Adriano Moraes. 'Mighty Mouse' will be seeking to avenge his knockout loss at ONE on Prime Video 1.

While discussing Moraes vs Johnson II, Sonnen described the situation coming into this fight for US-born athlete Johnson. Sonnen said:

"Demetrious isn’t gonna get a third shot. There’s a lot of pressure on Demetrious, not to mention it’s the main event."

Plus, all of the additional factors that add pressure:

"So now it’s your first time on a network, you have exposure, you’re the face of the brand. You are Demetrious Johnson but inside, you know you’re taking on an opponent who you’ve had problems with in the past. You’re gonna overcome that. You’re gonna overcome it before you leave the locker room. Can he do it?"

It will be a major challenge for Johnson to overcome. Not only the size disadvantage he will face against 'Mikinho' but also the mental hurdles he will need to overcome.

'Mighty Mouse' will be looking to avenge his loss and claim the ONE Flyweight World Championship at ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II, which broadcasts live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium and airs in US primetime via Amazon Prime Video on August 26.
