Demetrious Johnson set to challenge ONE flyweight champion Adriano Moraes in April

Demetrious Johnson will finally fight for undisputed gold in ONE Championship.

The former UFC flyweight champion and pound-for-pound great has been booked to challenge ONE flyweight champion Adriano Moraes on April 11 in China. The news was announced on Sunday night by ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong.

Johnson (30-3 MMA, 3-0 ONE) has been flawless since his switch from UFC to ONE. “Mighty Mouse” left the UFC in an historic trade in late 2018 and has gone 3-0 with his new promotion. The short win-streak saw Johnson come out victorious in the ONE Championship flyweight grand prix as he picked up his first ONE belt. Now he’s going for a second, as he targets ONE’s main flyweight title.

Johnson’s last defeat was a controversial decision loss to Henry Cejudo in 2018. The 33-year-old fighter remains the fighter with the most consecutive title defenses in UFC history (eleven).

Fighting to maintain his status as ONE’s reigning champion, Moraes (18-3 MMA, 9-3 ONE) hopes to complete his third consecutive title defense at flyweight. The Brazilian fighter won the interim flyweight title in November 2016 and unified it a year later against then-champ Kairat Akhmetov in a rematch. He’s remained champion ever since.
