Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson took a tough loss in Singapore last night in the main event of ONE on TNT 1. At that event ‘Mighty Mouse’ was KO’d by a knee while he was on the ground, which is perfectly legal under ONE’s rule-set.
The loss came to Adriano Moraes, who was defending his ONE Championship flyweight title. Moraes was able to use his size and reach advantage to keep Johnson at bay in the first round of their fight. Then, after a scramble send Johnson to the ground in the second round, he was able to measure up and score a precision knee strike right to the former UFC champ’s cheek.
