“Man, I want to hurt him … I want to see blood.”
Violent threats from ONE Championship flyweight titleholder Adriano Moraes … and the man on the receiving end?? Demetrious Johnson.
The two are set to do battle at “ONE on TNT I” on April 7 — where Moraes is out to prove he’s a G.O.A.T. killer.
The problem? DJ — one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time — ain’t scared … claiming he’s already spotted AM’s weaknesses and plans to expose the hell out of the guy on live TV.
31-year-old Moraes is 18-3 as a pro — winning 5 out of his last 6 — and says he’s highly motivated to destroy Johnson when they clash at Singapore Indoor Stadium in the first of a series of fights on TNT every Wednesday in April at 10 PM ET/10 PM PT.
“If you have one guy in the world who can beat DJ in a good way, it’s me, bro. It’s me.”

Moraes has claimed to be stronger and faster than DJ — but Mighty Mouse ain’t buyin’ that either telling TMZ Sports, “I doubt that I’ve met anybody in my life that’s faster than me in Mixed Martial Arts. I haven’t met 1 person yet.”
“He believes that he’s faster, stronger. But, ya know, we get a chance to go in there and fight in the cage and see who’s faster or stronger,” DJ says.
DJ is 30-3-1 as a pro — and famously defended the UFC flyweight belt in 11 consecutive fights, a record!
Many have said DJ belongs in the G.O.A.T. conversation alongside legends like Jon Jones … so we asked Demetrious how he feels about it.

Johnson is 3-0 since moving over to ONE Championship — and taking the belt from Moraes would only add to his already incredible resume.
Can’t wait!!!
