Kairat Akhmetov vs Adriano Moraes 1 - ONE Championship: Dynasty of Champions

Kairat Akhmetov (23-0) took the ONE Championship flyweight title from Adriano Moraes (15-2) almost two years ago. Since then, Akhmetov has been MIA. Not sure if he’s been hurt, busy, or just hasn’t been getting booked but he hasn’t fought (at least for ONE) since winning the title. Moraes has won two straight via sub since dropping the title. The two will now fight again in the co-main event of  ONE Championship: Kings and Conquerors this Friday (August 4).

Moraes-DJ World Title Fight To Headline ONE Championship's April 7 Event On American Prime Time

The long-awaited showdown between ONE Championship's best flyweight mixed martial artists is officially set for 2021.

ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes will defend his strap against ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.

The main event of the yet-to-be-named show will air during prime time in the United States through ONE’s partner channel, TNT, on Wednesday, 7 April.

The bout has been a long time coming in The Home Of Martial Arts.

Moraes last competed in January 2019 when he defeated former belt-holder Geje “Gravity” Eustaquio to claim the ONE Flyweight World Title. Prior to that fight, he defeated the likes of #2-ranked contender Danny “The King” Kingad and #3-ranked contender and former flyweight king Kairat “The Kazakh” Akhmetov.

Johnson, meanwhile, last saw action in October 2019 when he defeated Kingad in the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Championship Final, earning his rightful shot at Moraes.

On the same 7 April card, North American mixed martial arts great Eddie “The Underground King” Alvarez will return to the Circle against #3-ranked lightweight contender Iuri Lapicus.

After falling in his promotional debut, Alvarez redeemed himself with a submission win over Filipino icon Eduard “Landslide” Folayang.

“The Underground Kid” has made his ONE World Championship intentions clear since joining the promotion, and a win over the Lapicus could see him enter the top-five lightweight ranks and get closer to a shot at reigning king Christian “The Warrior” Lee.

Finally, ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon will take on British striking sensation Jacob Smith.

Rodtang and Smith will clash in a non-World Title Muay Thai bout that will introduce the electrifying sport to a wider North American audience.

In the meantime, catch all the action from ONE Championship’s next event, the previously recorded ONE: UNBREAKABLE II, next Friday, 29 January, by downloading the ONE Super App or tuning in meWATCH at 8:30 p.m. Singapore Standard Time (SGT).

Danny Kingad eyes another title shot

#PHnews: Danny Kingad eyes another title shot

MANILA – Filipino mixed martial arts sensation Danny Kingad has expressed his desire to fight again for the ONE flyweight title.

Kingad said on Wednesday he is ready to challenge the winner of the Adriano Moraes - Demetrious Johnson clash on February 24 for Moraes' championship belt.

"I would love to fight the winner of that fight sometime in the near future," he said.

Johnson, a former flyweight champ at the Ultimate Fighting Championship, set up a title showdown against Moraes for the ONE Championship gold after beating Kingad in the final of the ONE Flyweight Grand Prix, which took place at ONE: Century in Tokyo on Oct. 12, 2019.

Kingad's first loss in his career actually came against Moraes when the latter submitted the former through a rear-naked choke in their title showdown at ONE: Legends of the World in Pasay City on Nov. 10, 2017.

He, however, said he has learned from those defeats and is ready for a rematch against either Moraes or Johnson.

“I believe I’ve changed a lot since facing either of them, and they will be surprised,” Kingad said.

On what kind of Kingad would show up if he gets a title shot outright will depend on how the prolonged hiatus has affected him much, fitness-wise.

In what would have been his first match since January, Kingad was scheduled to face former champ Kairat Akhmetov at ONE: Big Bang 1 on December 4, but on November 30, ONE announced that the match was called off after one of Kingad's cornermen tested positive for the coronavirus disease 2019.

Taking Kingad's place on short notice was former ONE bantamweight title challenger Kim Dae-Hwan.

Akhmetov currently ranks third among flyweights and Kim already fought in a catchweight clash earlier this month, but the match will only be shown on Christmas night when ONE broadcasts ONE: Collision Course 2.

Meanwhile, Kingad said he would spend the holidays with his family in Baguio but he will quickly return to training after New Year's Day. (PNA)

The Russian Village That Raised ONE Super Series Contender Jamal Yusupov

When Jamal “Kherow” Yusupov enters the ONE Championship Circle against Samy “AK47” Sana this Friday, 25 December, he won’t be stepping inside alone. 

In the previously recorded main event of ONE: COLLISION COURSE II, Yusupov will be carrying memories of the villagers who helped raise him during his youth on a farmstead in Telman, Dagestan. 

“In Telman, everyone knew each other. It felt like one big family,” the Russian recalled. 

“People in Telman just got on with their lives – kids went to school, while parents worked on a state farm trying to make an honest living.” 

But adults weren’t the only ones who had to till the land of the state farm. Even kids did their part, and Yusupov was no different. 

“When you live in a village, everyone has a task to do,” he continued. “Mine was looking after the house and our livestock.” 

Yusupov and his family got by with just the basics, but the Dagestani felt like it was always enough. He didn't have the tangibles that many other kids are afforded while growing up, but he owned something more important. 

“We had clothes to wear, and we had food to eat. I could not always get stuff that I wanted, like toys or trendy sneakers, but I was part of a big family, and I was happy,” he said. 

That family extended beyond the farm fences and into the larger village around him, where he was free to experience his childhood as he saw fit. 

“Kids at school got along well and my childhood was fairly carefree. We used to stay outside ’til late and we played on the streets, but there were no criminal gangs and no turf wars,” Yusupov said. 

“I know that in big cities like Makhachkala, kids from rival schools used to fight each other, but our village life was very different, with more respect and more peace.” 

Yusupov will now take the qualities that his village instilled in him and let them shine on the biggest stage for Muay Thai athletes – ONE Super Series. 

Catch Yusupov vs. Sana at the previously recorded ONE: COLLISION COURSE II this Friday, 25 December, by downloading the ONE Super App.
