Former UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson has his eyes on another belt, and he’s happy to have earned his title shot the hard way.
Speaking ahead of his upcoming flyweight title bout with reigning champion Adriano Moraes at ONE on TNT I, Johnson (30-3-1 MMA, 3-0 ONE) opened up on his thoughts on his ONE Championship journey to date, as he entered, and subsequently won, the ONE flyweight grand prix to earn his shot at three-time flyweight champion Moraes’ title. He also discussed his take on MMA’s “greatest of all-time” debate, and his place within that conversation.
ONE on TNT I takes place Wednesday, April 7 at Singapore Indoor Stadium, Singapore. The event airs on TNT and B/R Live.
