Ahead of his UFC on FOX 8
title fight with Demetrious Johnson this summer, challenger John Moraga admits
that he thinks "Mighty Mouse" is a boring fighter who doesn't give
the fans the type of fights they want to see.
-- Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) flyweight No. 1 contender John Moraga gives his honest
assessment of divisional champion and future opponent Demetrious Johnson in a
Q&A session with media members (watch it here) over the recent UFC 160
weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 29-year-old is scheduled to challenge
"Mighty Mouse" for his 125-pound belt in the main event of UFC on FOX
8 on July 27, 2013 in Seattle, Wash., and feels he is going up against an
opponent with a style that is not fan friendly, which will make it all the most
difficult to compete. There is a very noticeable contrast in the resumes of the
two fighters under the UFC banner, as Moraga has won both his UFC fights by
knockout or submission while Johnson has gone to a decision in all seven of his
Octagon appearances for 135 minutes of consecutive fighting. UFC on FOX 8 will
be Moraga's first chance to shine to the world on the biggest stage the sport
has to offer and he is hoping to produce a more exciting fight than what fans
have seen from Johnson's bouts in the past. (Source)
