Once the fourth round hit, the finishing sequence was a thing of beauty. He sliced open a wide cut above the former champion’s left eye with an elbow from bottom position midway through the first round, and despite spending much of the opening 10 minutes stuck underneath Moraes, “Mighty Mouse” continued to stay aggressive, seizing momentum in Round 3 with fast footwork and a steady diet of digging hooks which drained Moraes’ gas tank.

Just as it seemed like “Mikinho” could swing the momentum in his favor again, the American veteran blasted him with a hard overhand right that sent him stumbling backward. Johnson got to his feet and pressured “Mikinho” to the Circle Wall. Moraes looked more aggressive as the championship rounds got underway, and he pushed to close the distance. The third round offered a noticeably different complexion, as Johnson found much more success cutting off the Circle. The BJJ black belt stayed tight when he followed his rival down, constantly looking to pass and unloading short elbows when he got the chance. In round two, Johnson tried to punch his way in, but he struggled with his opponent’s reach advantage.

One of the greatest MMA fighters of all time talks with DAZN ahead of Friday's flyweight title rematch.

And I was like, 'Yo, do you mind if I come train with you'? If I go out there and if I beat Adriano, great. And I love my job. I went home and started picking up dog s— in the front yard, taking the kids to school, and returning to life.

I'm grateful for the opportunity; shout out to the boys that we did it and move on to the next one. "Once I got to the hotel room, 'I was like, let's watch it.

Demetrious Johnson is now the ONE Championship flyweight champion following an incredible performance in a rematch with Brazilian veteran Adriano Moraes.

"It was a very, very hard camp," Johnson said after the win. While Moraes looked to mount a comeback with a flashy flying knee and a nasty elbow inside, Johnson walked through it all and then delivered a highlight-reel finish, landing with a massive right hand and then following with a flying knee that sent Moraes crashing to the canvas, ending the fight at the 3:50 mark of the fourth frame. The approach would pay dividends as the round unfolded. Moraes came alive late in the frame, but it was clear momentum was shifting in Johnson's direction. Johnson was constantly active from his back, but Moraes was once again dominant in his control. Just as in the initial meeting, former UFC champ Johnson was clearly the smaller man in the cage, but he was aggressive from the start, looking to pressure from the opening bell.
