“I want to show him who I am” – Felipe Lobo wants to prove Jonathan Haggerty wrong after he called him a ‘nobody’

Felipe Lobo is fired up after Jonathan Haggerty called him a ‘nobody’ late last year.

The Brazilian striker had been on Haggerty’s radar ever since Lobo defeated top bantamweight Muay Thai contender Saemapetch Fairtex by knockout on April 22, 2023, at ONE Fight Night 9.

But their rivalry has reached new heights after Haggerty knocked out Lobo’s teammate ‘Wonder Boy’ Fabricio Andrade, for the ONE bantamweight kickboxing world title this past November.

That night, ‘Demolition Man’ cornered for Andrade, so Haggerty took the opportunity to exchange a few unpleasantries with him after the bout.

When Lobo was asked about their confrontation by ONE Championship, the Brazilian said that Haggerty’s threats had become personal. He, therefore, hopes to prove the current champion wrong by making him eat his words on February 16.

“This confrontation certainly increased my desire to face him. Especially because in the ring, he said I was a nobody. So, I want to show him who I am.”

ONE Fight Night 19 will air live on US Primetime on February 16, free of charge for existing Prime Video subscribers in North America
