By The Numbers: Adriano Moraes vs. Yuya Wakamatsu

Adriano Moraes wears the crown with a surprising amount of ease.

The American Top Team-trained Brazilian will defend his flyweight title against Yuya Wakamatsu in a One Championship “One X” co-feature on Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Moraes, 32, enters the cage on the strength of back-to-back victories. He last appeared at One on TNT 1, where he knocked out the incomparable Demetrious Johnson with a knee strike in the second round of their April 7 pairing. Wakamatsu, meanwhile, has rattled off five straight victories. He last competed on Dec. 3, when he was awarded a unanimous decision over Yong Hu at One Championship “Winter Warriors.”
