ONE Fight Night 10: Johnson vs. Moraes III marks ONE’s historic debut on American soil, and the blockbuster fight card is loaded with high-stakes bouts fitting the groundbreaking occasion. The action gets underway this Friday, May 5, live from 1stBank Center in Colorado. From the epic World Title trilogy fight at the top of the bill all the way to the lead card opener, every contest on the card is significant in its own way.

With that said, these are three fighters who would catapult their careers forward with a win at ONE Fight Night 10. 

#1 Adriano Moraes 

In the main event, Adriano ‘Mikinho’ Moraes aims to close out his 1-1 rivalry with Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson and regain the ONE Flyweight world title in the process. It is natural that the Brazilian would be elated to once again wear 26 pounds of gold around his waist. 

But beyond the World Title and all the fame, acclaim, and financial benefits that come along with it, a victory over a modern-day legend like Johnson would elevate Moraes’ legacy forever, establishing him among the best mixed martial artists to ever compete. 

#2 Ahmed Mujtaba 

Lower on the card, surging Pakistani star Ahmed ‘Wolverine’ Mujtaba hopes to spoil ‘Super’ Sage Northcutt’s long-awaited return to action, and he plans to do it in enemy territory.

With a victory, Mujtaba will have announced himself as a key player in the talent-laden lightweight MMA division, proving he belongs among the division’s elites. 

#3 Fan Rong 

Chinese bruiser ‘King Kong Warrior’ Fan Rong could pick up the biggest win of his career if he can take out former two-division ONE World Champion and beloved Myanmar hero Aung La N Sang. The man known as ‘King Kong Warrior’ has proven to have the skills and brutal finishing instincts to compete at a world title level fight, but after going 2-2 in the organization, he’s still waiting for his breakout moment. 

That could come this Friday. If Fan can get past ‘The Burmese Python,’ he will have launched himself into immediate ONE Middleweight world title contention where he hopes to score a rematch with divisional king Reinier de Ridder.
