The recent ONE Flyweight World Champion Adriano Morais has just won the "Man of the Year" award at the 2021 World Mixed Martial Arts Awards in Las Vegas.
In 2021, Moraes played only one game, but it shocked the world. On April 8, "ONE: Booming", Moraes, as the active world champion of ONE, confronted mimethes Johnson, a mime martial arts legend "Hercules". The summit showdown lasted less than two rounds, Moraes suddenly flew to the knee attack, hit Johnson with a heavy punch, and then slammed the head of "Hercules" with ground knees, under a series of blows, the second round of 2 minutes and 24 seconds The referee terminated the game, Moraes successfully defended the world championship, and "Hercules" suffered the first KO end of his career. With this great victory, Moraes won the "Man of the Year" award.
"First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me the opportunity to play sports, to my team, coaches and my training partners, who are the driving force behind me, to my family and friends, who are strong supporters in my life. Thank you ONE Championship for giving me such a stage and letting me show the great fighting spirit, this award is for all of us, let us continue to cheer! ”
With the fall of the Hercules, Moraes became a new generation of flyweight legends. People are concerned about who will be his next opponent. "King" Danny Kinggard, "Kazakh" Kerat Akhmetov and "Hercules" Johnson all want a chance for revenge. Yuya Wakamatsu, the "little piranha" who has just defeated Chinese boxer Hu Yong, is also eyeing the world championship challenge.
But Moraes showed no keen interest in these contenders, and he set his sights on another legendary champion who was about to return, the Beijing Olympic freestyle wrestling gold medalist and former North American doubleweight champion Henry Sehoudo. "I heard that Sehudo will choose a comeback next year. Why can't we schedule a big game? Maybe that really will happen. Imagine that, it's a great scene. Why not? Anything can happen. You see that Hercules and I have already had a fight, why not have a fight with Sehudo? ”
If Sehudo and Morays have anything in common, in addition to being both world's top athletes, they have also defeated the "Hercules". It was Sehudo who ended the Dominion of the Hercules over the North American flyweight, and since then, Sehudo has also been upgraded to the chickweight and once again became the world champion. After dominating two levels, Sehudo, who was at the peak, suddenly retired, but he never relaxed his training, and even helped Zhang Weili prepare for the battle. If there is a comeback, Sehudo still has the world's top competitiveness. If Morais can play a match with Sehudo, he will even surpass the battle with "Hercules" in terms of attention and influence of the game!
If there is a war, do you think Morais or Sehudo who will be the winner?
