Just like all of ONE Championship\u2019s Amazon cards, ONE Fight Night 10 is available live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>As he heads into his first fight back in the United States, let\u2019s look back at Demetrious Johnson\u2019s three biggest wins in ONE Championship.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>#3. Danny Kingad<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Competing in a tournament was always one of Demetrious Johnson\u2019s career goals, and he did just that the moment he arrived at ONE Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson completely dominated Yuya Wakamatsu and Tatsumitsu Wada in his first two matches in the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix before he faced Danny Kingad in the final match of the tournament.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Demetrious Johnson vs. Danny Kingad | ONE Full Fight | October 2019\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6BBi867GNMo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"6BBi867GNMo\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/6BBi867GNMo\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/6BBi867GNMo\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Determined to complete a goal he\u2019s always seen himself accomplishing, \u2018Mighty Mouse\u2019 put on a clinic and subjected Kingad to a technical masterpiece. The American legend utilized tremendous wrestling pressure that practically negated whatever offense Kingad had planned.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson took absolute control of the match en route to the unanimous decision win to capture the ONE Flyweight World Grand Prix title.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>#2. Rodtang Jitmuangnon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For someone who\u2019s competed professionally for close to two decades, Demetrious Johnson has certainly faced every opponent imaginable.<\/p>\n<p>That was until he faced off against a striking monster in Rodtang Jitmuangnon.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson took on Rodtang, the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion, in a mixed-rules bout at ONE X in March 2022. The four-round contest was separated under two rulesets, with the first and third using Muay Thai and the remaining rounds using MMA\u2019s Global Rules.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rodtang vs. Demetrious Johnson | ONE Championship Full Fight\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3dG_lg2g-sQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"3dG_lg2g-sQ\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/3dG_lg2g-sQ\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/3dG_lg2g-sQ\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The match, however, never made it past the second round.<\/p>\n<p>After weathering the storm in the first frame, Johnson knew that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/rodtang-wants-role-model-future-children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Rodtang<\/a> was in uncharted territory and it was his job to drag the Thai superstar into the deep end.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson, in one fluid motion, ducked Rodtang\u2019s left hook and quickly wrestled his way into a dominant position. Once taking control of Rodtang\u2019s back, Johnson slapped in a tight rear-naked choke to capture the submission win.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><strong>#1. Adriano Moraes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Poetic is one word to describe Demetrious Johnson\u2019s flying knee knockout of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/adriano-moraes-ready-headline-special-card-may\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Adriano Moraes<\/a> in their second meeting at ONE on Prime Video 1.<\/p>\n<p>Moraes, arguably the most decorated flyweight in ONE Championship history, holds the distinction of being the only person to ever finish Johnson. The Brazilian superstar knocked Johnson out in their first meeting at ONE on TNT I in April 2021 with a knee strike that sent tremors throughout the combat sports world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\"> <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Adriano Moraes vs. Demetrious Johnson II | ONE Championship Full FIght\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TW9e4sy1dbY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"TW9e4sy1dbY\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/TW9e4sy1dbY\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/TW9e4sy1dbY\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So when their second match came rolling out in August 2022, Johnson knew that he had to get one back.<\/p>\n<p>Things, however, looked bleak in the first two rounds as Moraes controlled much of the fight with his grappling. Johnson, though, turned things around in the third when he used his boxing to close the distance and stop \u2018Mikinho\u2019 from taking the fight to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Once the fourth round rolled in, Johnson knew that he had the rhythm and the match under his control. \u2018Mighty Mouse\u2019 continued to use his hands and clocked Moraes with a stinging right cross to set up the flying knee that immediately put the match to a close.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson walked into the rematch as the challenger for the ONE flyweight world title, and he walked out of the arena with 26.4 pounds of gold draped over his shoulder.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '952063904834769'); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/demetrious-johnson-s-top-3-wins-one-championship\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demetrious Johnson has long established that he\u2019s one of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters to have ever lived.
