Johnson started the bout looking to get inside Moraes’ range and absorbing some leg kicks in the process. An eventual takedown attempt from the Washington state resident led Moraes to seek out a heel hook to no avail. From there, Moraes found a top position and worked from Johnson’s guard for the remainder of the opening round. Round two saw more of the same as each began picking up the pace a bit. Pressing forward, the shorter “Mighty Mouse” ate a knee from the champion followed by an uppercut that dropped him. Quickly trying to work his way back up with Moraes pushing him downward, a much more flush knee connected for the Brazilian to put Johnson’s lights out.
