Felipe Lobo will have his work cut out for him at ONE Fight Night 19
Felipe Lobo has proven himself to be a very deserving challenger in the bantamweight Muay Thai division through his run with ONE Championship.
That being said, bringing a sudden end to the momentum of Jonathan Haggerty might be his toughest test to date.
The two-sport world champion is coming off the best year of his career in 2023 where he claimed both the bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing titles with two consecutive knockout victories.
Lobo will have to be better than ever to beat ‘The General’ as only one man can leave Lumpinee with the bantamweight gold.
ONE Fight Night 19 will air live and free in U.S. primetime for North American viewers with an active Prime Video subscription.
