“I’m a disciplined guy” - Adriano Moraes says he’ll get the job done in Demetrious Johnson rematch

The ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano Moraes is confident going into his rematch against Demetrious Johnson at ONE on Prime Video 1. The Brazilian may have knocked out 'Mighty Mouse' last year, but he says his confidence doesn't come from that feat.

Instead, 'Mikinho' knows his strengths and weaknesses, and fights with a smart game plan. But above all, he stays disciplined and doesn't get into unnecessary risks or firefights.

Leading up to his main event spot against Johnson, Moraes explained his point of view. While speaking to The MMA Super-Fan, he said:

"I’m not confident because I won against him already. I’m confident because I’m a disciplined guy, I’m the guy who always works hard, I’m always inside the gym, teaching and learning, sharing the positive thoughts about martial arts with my teammates, with my coaches."

Adriano Moraes will get a chance to stop Johnson once again in their upcoming rematch. 'Mighty Mouse' will be hungry to avenge his loss when these two meet at ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II, which broadcasts live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium and airs in the US primetime via Amazon Prime Video on August 26.
