Number two-ranked flyweight Danny “The King” Kingad is raring to return to the ONE Championship circle, and he has two people in mind who he’d love to face.
Kingad is confident that he’s ready for a rematch with ONE flyweight world champion Adriano “Mikinho” Moraes, who scored a decisive knockout win over No. 1-ranked flyweight Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson at “ONE on TNT I” in April. “Compared to the man who faced him back then, I’m a lot more different. I have gained a lot of experience since that match, and I know that I’m ready for the world title shot.
Since then, Kingad has gone 7-1 in his division, with his only loss coming by decision against Johnson in the finals of the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix Championship. “I feel like I’ve improved a lot from that fight. Aside from being younger in that first match, we have also improved in terms of how we prepare,” Kingad said.
But if Moraes is unavailable for a rematch, Kingad has no problem taking on another top-five ranked flyweight.
