It goes without saying that Adriano Moraes has his work cut out for him.
Moraes will defend his undisputed One Championship flyweight crown against the man most people view as the greatest 125-pound fighter of all-time when he faces former Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Demetrious Johnson in the One on TNT 1 headliner this Wednesday at Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The reigning champion has recorded wins in five of his past six appearances. Moraes has not competed since he took a five-round unanimous decision from rival Geje Eustaquio at One Championship “Hero’s Ascent” more than two years ago.
