Bengaluru, January 28: After more than a year of anticipation, the biggest fight in ONE Championship is just months away as ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson will finally challenge ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano "Mikinho" Moraes for the latter's golden belt.
The championship bout will be part of ONE's 7 April card, which in addition to being aired in India, will be broadcast live on the promotion's United States partner television network, TNT. Details on broadcast times will be released at a future date.
Ever since "Mighty Mouse" won the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Championship in October 2019 by defeating #3-ranked contender Danny "The King" Kingad in the final, martial arts fans around the world have been eagerly awaiting this World Title clash.
Moraes has proven to be the best flyweight in the division after defeating Kingad, #3-ranked contender and former flyweight World Champ Kairat "The Kazakh" Akhmetov, and then former belt-holder Geje "Gravity" Eustaquio to claim the strap.
The 7 April action doesn't stop there.
