More than two years after a loss to Henry Cejudo in a flyweight title bout at UFC 227 signaled Demetrious Johnson’s exit from the Las Vegas-based promotion, “Mighty Mouse” has a chance to add some more championship hardware to his trophy case.
Johnson will vie for the One Championship flyweight (135-pound) crown in a headlining clash against reigning title holder Adriano Moraes at One on TNT 1 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore on Wednesday night. To get to this point, Johnson vanquished Danny Kingad, Tatsumitsu Wada and Yuya Wakamatsu in the promotion’s flyweight grand prix.
