In April 2021, Moraes made history by becoming the first fighter to knock out ‘Mighty Mouse'. After parting ways for one fight, the flyweight greats met in the Circle for a second time in August 2022. Johnson claimed his revenge with a picture-perfect flying knee knockout to become the ONE flyweight world champion.

Demetrious Johnson recently posted an Instagram video breaking down the legendary knockout. He had this to say:

“The flying knee, I’m playing with seconds. I don’t have a big opportunity, a big window to take my time to set stuff up. It’s like I’m set all that stuff up at high speeds and that one goes down as probably one of my favorites.”
