He said, “Adriano was just too dominant… DJ’s had his time. He’s been the best for a long time, but those days are over right now. I’d say rear-naked choke, third round.”

Angela Lee was reluctant to pick a winner but eventually settled on one

The atomweight queen made a strong return from a two-year hiatus from the ONE Circle when she submitted the multi-sports world champion Stamp Fairtex at ONE X.

On the same card, ‘Mighty’ returned to the win column with a finish over Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon. Despite Johnson’s momentum, Lee said, “I’m a fan of both, so it’s hard to choose. But you know what? I think that Adriano is going to take it once more.”

Rodtang Jitmuangnon picked Moraes but gave a scenario where Demetrious Johnson could win

The flyweight Muay Thai king competed against the American veteran MMA fighter at the promotion’s 10-year-anniversary card. ‘Mighty’ submitted the Thailand-based athlete in the MMA round and stood toe-to-toe with him in the Muay Thai round.

Thus, Jitmuangnon knows Johnson has a complete game in MMA. The Muay Thai said, “If [Adriano], himself, runs out of gas, he will be at risk. But if DJ gets a chance to choke, he will finish Adriano. But in my opinion, I predict Adriano will win once again in this fight.”

The American star made a spectacular debut at The Home of Martial Arts. The female jiujitsu ace has multiple accolades in the grappling world.

Like Lee, Kelly was also unsure who she would give an edge in the rematch, but she picked Moraes over Johnson. The jiujitsu star also gave a close reason for it. She said, “I originally was picking DJ to win because I know how it feels to come from a tough loss and it fuels him to do better. However, I like Adriano’s style, and in their first bout, he was dominating.”

After talking about the logistics of the bout, Kelly said, “Also, DJ said I wasn’t legit, so I’m picking Moraes!”

Brandon Vera makes comparisons between Adriano Moraes and Demetrious Johnson

The former ONE heavyweight champion of the world had an interesting take on the rematch. Vera said, “Adriano is like a bigger, faster version of ‘Mighty Mouse,’ a.k.a. the GOAT. Same outcome like last time.”
