ONE Championship's debut show on American soil, ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III, treated fans inside the sold-out 1stBank Center in Colorado and the millions watching around the world to a night of non-stop martial arts action.

In the night's main event on Friday, May 5, Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson closed out his rubber match against Adriano "Mikinho" Moraes with a strong clinch game to throw off Moraes' striking proficiency and grappling mastery on his way to a successful ONE Flyweight World Title defense.

Johnson stayed calm and picked his shots brilliantly - using shoulder strikes, piercing knees, and sharp elbows to score huge points - where the pair were locked inside the clinch for most of the duel.

After 25 minutes of intense MMA action, the AMC Pankration and Evolve MMA athlete left no doubt in the judges' eyes that he was deserving of a unanimous decision win.

"Mighty Mouse's" successful World Title defense and return to competition on North American soil was commanding from start to finish. However, Rodtang "The Iron Man" Jitmuangnon did even better in the co-main event of the evening.

Rodtang fired on all cylinders with his assortment of weapons, eventually putting Mexican slugger and WBC Muay Thai International Champion Edgar Tabares to sleep with a clean elbow to retain his ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Title.

In the other co-main event of the evening, American standout Mikey "Darth Rigatoni" Musumeci successfully defended his ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Title against IBJJ No-Gi World Champion Osamah Almarwai.

From the start of the battle, the pasta-loving ONE World Champion pressed at his foe with waves of submissions. After being unsuccessful with a heel hook attempt, Musumeci sunk in the match-ending rear-naked choke at 8:03 of the battle.

In addition, ONE Championship Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong presented five performance bonuses to Rodtang, Musumeci, and three other superstars who thrilled the watching world with highlight-reel finishes from top to bottom.

Sage Northcutt, Zebaztian Kadestam, Stamp Fairtex, and Musumeci all received a whopping US$50,000 performance bonus each. While striking supremo Rodtang, bagged a massive US$100,000 performance bonus for his incredible win.
