Fans show their appreciation for Jonathan Haggerty’s counter kick

Muay Thai fans on social media reacted to Jonathan Haggerty’s lightning-fast counter kick with a mix of praise and appreciation this week.

The former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion reminded fans that you can’t sleep on ‘The General’ in his upcoming match against Nong-O Hama at ONE Fight Night 9 on Prime Video. The 26-year-old stalwart is a master at delivering surprise attacks that if you blink, you might miss it.

Against Vladimir Kuzmin at ONE on Prime Video 4, Haggerty measured his timing and distance so well that he almost gave the Russian whiplash upon impact.

In just a few weeks, ‘The General’ will return to action to do something he’s never done before, and that is to beat one of the greatest Muay Thai strikers in the world, ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Hama at ONE Fight Night 9 on Prime Video.

He’s coming off a successful catchweight showdown against Vladimir Kuzmin last November, so he’s feeling fearless and prepared to take on one of the biggest challenges of his career. In other words, ‘The General’ is ready to brawl and give fans a powerful performance worthy of a world championship belt.

Nong-O Hama, for his part, is a highly experienced and technical Muay Thai striker. He has a record of seven successful world title defenses and is currently unbeaten at ONE Championship. The pride of Thailand, the multi-time Lumpinee Stadium world champion is as skillful and brutal as they come.

ONE Fight Night 9: Nong-O Hama vs. Haggerty goes down on Friday, April 21, at the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and will be aired for free for Amazon Prime subscribers in North America.
