In the past year, "Hercules" Dimitris Johnson suffered the first KO-ending of his career in Asia, but this defeat did not dim the legendary aura of the flyweight. "Hercules" is still the most box office appeal player in the world fighting arena.
"Hercules" is about to play a brand new crossover match with Flyweight Muay Thai world champion "Iron Man" Rotang. The tournament will use the new Muay Thai + MMA "mixed" rules, with a total of four rounds, the first and third rounds are Muay Thai with four ounces of finger covers, and the second and fourth rounds are mixed martial arts rules. Luo Tang excitedly said: "Hercules is an American superstar, a legend of mixed martial arts, I have watched his game for a long time, never thought of the opportunity to play with him, this is a historic match for me, the most precious opportunity in my life." ”
This special rule competition may bring a new experience to boxing fans, but it will not give "Hercules" a long-term opportunity for development. One flyweight world champion Adriano Mores, the first KO "Hercules", gave Johnson a piece of advice – downgrade to grass weight combat. "I think it would be more appropriate for him to go grassweight combat and I know he wants to get a gold belt. Now that his match against Rotang is already planned, let's see what happens. ”
"Hercules" has the fastest speed and comprehensive technology in the order of flies, but his physique is at an absolute disadvantage, almost every opponent of the flyweight is bigger than him, and Morees is a full 12 centimeters higher than Johnson, which makes "Hercules" always passive in the game. If it is reduced to the grass level, the physical disadvantage of the "Hercules" is no longer a problem.
Grassweight world champion "Passion" Joshua Pasio was very excited to hear the news and warmly welcomed Johnson's arrival. "I'd be very happy if Hercules came to grass magnitude combat. I think he may not be able to challenge the champion directly, and he will compete against other opponents before playing against me, but I really want to compete with this legend in my heart. He's one of my idols, and it would be a great honor if I could play him in a cage. ”
Despite the fierce competition in the grass scale, Pasio's rule remained solid. The 25-year-old Pasio spent just 3 minutes and 38 seconds in "ONE: Groundbreaking" on September 24, 2021 to successfully defend the grassweight world champion Gold Belt for the third time. After beating three challengers in a row, Pasio is looking for his next opponent. In the top five lists, South African boxer "Little Giant" Bokang Ma Songyang, Japanese wrestling master MiJi Wheel Leaf, and American star "Monkey God" Jared Brooks are all eager to overthrow Paseo's rule. If the "Hercules" is really downgraded to grass level combat, then the entire competitive landscape will undergo a new change.
If you really come to grass-level combat, do you think the "Hercules" can realize the dream of dominating Asia?
