Demetrius Johnson Victorious, looking to the future
The game is played in the first place at the end. Johnson’s gentle knees made for a massive bodywork, and he eventually missed out with a jumping knee. Johnson credits Moraes’ toughness and commitment to toughening his game for the tough title tilt.
“When we were trying to disengage, I was trying to land an elbow, and I hit him with a right hand when I lightened his head. But like I said, I think he was more durable, and he didn’t overextend himself because when I hit him in the second scuffle, he threw the left hook, and then I backed off, and I hit him.” “So he overextended. His body wasn’t in the proper position to trade off energy. That’s why he was knocked out the second time. The third time, every time, he didn’t overextend so much this time,” Johnson said in the post-event press conference.
after winning, Khairat Akhmedov I entered the circle with the hero. Johnson obliged and set the stage for what would be his next title defense. Although he has not officially ruled out retirement, “Mighty Mouse” appeared to be galvanized by Akhmetov’s recent string of victories.
“I think Kairat Akhmetov is on a six-match winning streak. I love when people are on winning streaks because I love taking it away from them. Kairat is a great athlete, very strong. I saw him and Reese McLaren At the World Grand Prix again in 2019, I think. He is a good wrestler. You know, I think when I fight him, I’m excited about a new challenge because he brings something different to the table,” said Johnson.
Johnson is one of only a select few in the discussion of the greatest martial artists of all time. But the flyweight king doesn’t think there is a definitive answer. Instead, Johnson believes it is a personal choice based on preferences.
“Honestly, it’s always going to depend on a person’s perspective. For me, what I like to look at, the guys on the goat list, I like to see their full skill set. They can grapple, can they strike, can they clinch, can they clinch Grappling? That’s what I like, you know, on my roster. When I look at myself as one of those guys, I’ve shown in my skill set that I can grapple, I got great clinching, I got great jab, I got great jiu-jitsu, I’m very creative In the cage.”Yeah, I think it depends on people’s perspective,” Johnson said.
Unsurprisingly, one of the game’s greatest minds took the action in stride. This was thanks in part to his family being inside the First Bank Center to watch him compete for the first time live. His two sons got to be there for his latest title defense and enjoyed the ONE Fight Night 10 festivities.
“It was a really good feeling, you know because I never in my life thought that I would still be competing at that age and be able to look out of the cage and see my kids. So this is something I will remember in my heart. I love ONE Championship. I love Martial Arts House I love being surrounded by so many great athletes from different disciplines, right? Just to hear the different accents, you know, be around the best Muay Thai fighters in the world, the best boxing players around the world, even the best submission fighters around the world. Roll BrothersAnd Mickey Musumesi, I am really grateful. And my legacy here at ONE Championship is just an athlete who came out here and worked hard and fought everyone who was put in front of me. And, you know, who was also very easy to deal with. When they asked me to fight RudtangIt wasn’t like, “Well, I want MMA to be first, I think MMA should be first, and then we’ll do Muay Thai.” I was like, “What do you guys want.” You know, I’m just an easy guy, Johnson said.
