Adriano Moraes vs. Demetrious Johnson 2 will represent two fighters of very different styles clashing with ONE flyweight gold on the line.
Johnson began wrestling when he was in high school and was a standout athlete in statewide competitions. After that, he began competing in MMA, using his incredible athleticism to become an expert in striking and submissions.
'Mikinho' began his grappling career at the age of seven when he began learning judo. He would later pick up the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and earn his black belt.

"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." [sic]
