“We don’t back down from anyone” - Danny Kingad ‘cooking up new things’ for Adriano Moraes rematch at ONE 169: Atlanta 

Former ONE flyweight MMA world title challenger and current third-ranked divisional contender 'The King' Danny Kingad of the Philippines plans to give former adversary 'Mikinho' Adriano Moraes a new look when they meet once more in the Circle this November.

Kingad and Moraes first threw down in November of 2017, with the Brazilian taking home a first-round submission victory over the Filipino. Now, almost a decade later, the two are ready to battle once again.

In a recent interview with The MMA Superfan, Kingad says he has something new to show Moraes when they trade leather in the Circle later this year.

'The King' said:

​

"Now I’m focused on sharpening up my techniques, and cooking up new things for people to see in my return. Back then it was only my third fight in ONE Championship and I got a big opportunity in challenging for a World Title but back then, I just stepped up. Someone pulled out and I was available, I came in and to be honest I was kind of surprised the moment I stepped in the Circle with him. You know us, we don’t back down from anyone. We just go and fight and that’s what happened."

Kingad vows to put on a better showing this time around, defeat Moraes once and for all, and punch his ticket to a world title shot.
