JAKARTA - Demetrious Johnson completed a mission of revenge with a knockout victory over Adriano Moraes in the rematch of ONE Fight Night 1's main match at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Singapore, Saturday night.

This victory also makes Johnson return to the ONE Championship flying world title after losing to Moraes in the first meeting on April 7, 2021.

Quoted by Antara, since the first round, this match was immediately fierce. Johnson and Moraes both appeared brave by throwing punches and kicks.

Johnson took the initiative to attack by releasing a series of punches from close range that made opponents waver.

But Moraes gained momentum in the first two rounds, putting up a fight with a jab with a combination of incredible attacks.

On the mat, the fighter nicknamed 'Mikinho' dominates with an advantage over his body size and has proven to be the main factor in buying and selling grappling.

Johnson came up in the third and fourth rounds with a more technical approach. At its peak in the fourth round, Johnson's punch came in hard, and Moraes immediately fell.

Seeing this momentum, Johnson immediately attacked by making a knee kick towards the head of Moraes who finally had to give up when the fourth round was running 3 minutes 50 seconds.

For Johnson, this victory also serves as Johnson's revans over Moraes. Previously Johnson lost the championship belt that Moraes won because he lost the battle in TNT 1 in 2021.

While in the main support match, ONE bantamweight world champion Muay Thai Nong-O Gaiyanghadao relied on the accuracy of attack and technical expertise to defend the belt against Liam Harrison.

The Thai fighter is aiming for the front leg of his England fighter with a sharp low shot and immediately head-hunting with a left foot kick.

Gaiyanghadao prevented opponents from attacking. At its peak, a final shot to the front legs sent Harrison to the ground and could not continue the match.

Then Panpayak Jitmuangnon won the final ticket for the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix Championship with an extraordinary performance against Savvas Michael.

The Thai veteran looked calm and confident, hitting straight to the left and powerful kicks to force the Cyprusan opponent to defend.

Panpayak continued his attack in the second round with a combination of quickfire attacks to bring the opponent to the canvas in just 10 seconds. This victory brought Panpuak to the final and will face Superlek.
