Two of the sport’s most well-respected names occupy the top of the bill. “One on TNT 1” will be headlined by a flyweight (135-pound) championship clash between reigning title holder Adriano Moraes and pound-for-pound standout and ex-Ultimate Fighting Championship 125-pound king Demetrious Johnson, while former UFC and Bellator MMA champ Eddie Alvarez meets Iuri Lapicus in a lightweight (170-pound) showdown in the co-main event.

One on TNT 1 takes place at Singapore Indoor Stadium and airs on TNT at 10 p.m. ET or at 7 p.m. PST on the Watch TNT App. It also airs via tape delay on TNT on the West Coast at 10 p.m. PST. Here is a look at some of the facts and figures heading into One on TNT 1.

166: Total events held by One Championship, including its upcoming card, since the promotion debuted in 2011.

6: Victories in title bouts for reigning flyweight champion Adriano Moraes, who owns victories against Tilek Batyrov, Kairat Akhmetov, Danny Kingad, Riku Shibuya and Geje Eustaquio (twice) with the belt on the line. The American Top Team product lost the title to Eustaquio in a split-decision defeat in June 2018 before regaining it in his last outing at One Championship “Hero’s Ascent” on Jan. 25, 2019.

9: Submission triumphs for Moraes. Over the course of his career, “Black Diamond” has earned tapouts by way of rear-naked choke (four), brabo choke (one), guillotine choke (two) and arm-triangle choke (two).

969: Days since Demetrious Johnson last appeared in a championship bout, when he relinquished his flyweight crown to Henry Cejudo in a split-decision loss at UFC 227 on Aug. 4, 2018. “Mighty Mouse” has since gone 3-0 in One, winning the promotion’s flyweight grand prix to earn a shot at Moraes.

11: Consecutive flyweight title defenses in UFC competition for Johnson, who is widely regarded as the greatest 125-pound fighter of all time. He will be facing Moraes at 135 pounds, however, due to One’s differing rules regarding weight cutting.

5-2: Johnson’s record in fights that go the full five rounds. The AMC Pankration product has bested the likes of Tim Elliott, John Dodson (twice), Ali Bagautinov and Joseph Benavidez in 25-minute affairs. One of those loses came to Dominick Cruz via unanimous decision in a 135-pound championship clash at UFC Live 6 in October 2011.

4.7: Height advantage, in inches, for Moraes, who is listed at 5-foot-8 on his Sherdog profile. Johnson, meanwhile, checks in at 5 feet, 3 inches.

24: Finishes among 30 professional victories for Eddie Alvarez, who has earned 17 wins by KO/TKO and seven by way of submission.

14: Consecutive victories for Iuri Lapicus before suffering his first defeat, a first-round TKO loss against Christian Lee at One Championship’s Oct. 30 event. Lapicus finished all 14 of his wins inside the distance.

0:17: Time of Raimond Magomedaliev’s quickest victory thus far in his pro tenure, a knockout of Valdir Araujo at Fight Nights Global 85 in March 2018.

8: First-round finishes among 12 professional triumphs for Sikjitsu product Tyler McGuire, who will square off against Magomedaliev at 185 pounds.

2: Non-MMA bouts currently scheduled to take place on the card. Rodtang Jitmuangnon will face Danial Williams in a 135-pound muay Thai affair, while Rade Opacic will square off against Patrick Schmid in a heavyweight kickboxing contest.

.860: Combined winning percentage of the eight combatants currently set to compete in MMA bouts on the April 7 card. The eight competitors own a record of 117-19. Decorated veterans Demetrious Johnson and Eddie Alvarez have the most victories with 30 apiece.
