WATCH: Danny Kingad goes berserk in response to Eko Roni Saputra's ill-advised taunting in Bangkok duel

Filipino star Danny Kingad showed how much he takes offense to being taunted at during his clash with Indonesian veteran Eko Roni Saputra at ONE Fight Night 7 in February 2023.

Saputra, who was on a seven-fight winning streak, gestured at Kingad to fight toe-to-toe late in round one. 'The King' eagerly obliged and delivered a beatdown for the remainder of the fight en route to the unanimous decision win.

Handing Saputra his first loss under the ONE banner was a much-needed return to form for the Lions Nation MMA star, who was coming off a unanimous decision defeat to Kairat Akhmetov at ONE: Winter Warriors II.

Looking to build upon his momentum, Kingad next fought Yuya Wakamatsu at ONE 165 this past January in a rematch of their September 2018 encounter. This time, 'Little Piranha' claimed revenge over the ONE Flyweight MMA World Grand Prix runner-up via unanimous decision.

Kingad will look for a bounce-back victory when he faces former ONE flyweight MMA world champion Adriano Moraes at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. 'Reug Reug' on Nov. 8 inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Danny Kingad hints at ace in his sleeve ahead of Adriano Moraes redo

Danny Kingad's submission defeat to Adriano Moraes in November 2017 has propelled the Filipino star to try something new in their upcoming rematch at ONE 169.

Speaking exclusively with Sportskeeda MMA, the 29-year-old shared:

"We're doing the same things to prepare for the fight, but we did add something special as we are formulating a game plan specifically for Adriano."

ONE 169 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
