Filipino mixed martial artist Geje Eustaquio fights to defend his ONE Championship flyweight tonight against Brazilian Adriano Moraes at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
The face-off is the main event for “ONE: Hero’s Ascent” and is the third meeting between the two after splitting their previous encounters.
“If I get the opportunity to knock him out, I will do that,” the Filipino fighter said. “If I have the opportunity, I will take it and not let it slip away.”
“This time, there will be more surprises,” he added. “In the event that the fight goes to the judges, I will make sure that it’s going to be a landslide decision in my favor.”
Moraes, meanwhile, also expressed confidence and questioned Eustaquio’s earlier victory.
“I won the first and, for me, I won the second and – I will win the third,” he stated. “It’s going to finish early in the first or second – it’s not going to go to the judges.”/ASC, WDJ
