Despite coming up short on this occasion, Moraes can still take pride knowing he put up a valiant effort against one of best fighters in ONE right now.
“Demetrious did well tonight,” said Moraes after his loss “He fought very smartly throughout this trilogy series against me; hats off to him.” This rubber match marked an important milestone for both men as they look ahead towards more potentially epic battles inside The Home Of Martial Arts. With their scorecard evened out at 1-1 apiece now each man knows better what it takes beat each other—making any future matchup between them even more exciting than before!

Stop living in the past
Mighty Mouse is an offensive fighter without a real ground game
What are you talking about? He’s held his title for three years now
That just shows how weak the competition is
You’re underestimating him, he knows what he’s doing and is a great champion
I’m not underestimating him, he just hasn’t had to face anyone of real talent yet
There have been some exciting fights involving Mighty Mouse – you can’t deny that!
