ONE Championship shared the entire fight footage for Jonathan Haggerty’s win against Muay Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao.
In January 2019, Haggerty made his ONE debut and defeated Joseph Lasiri by unanimous decision. Due to his impressive performance, ‘The General’ earned a flyweight Muay Thai title shot four months later against Sam-A at ONE: For Honor.
Throughout the five rounds, Haggerty proved he was one of the best flyweight Muay Thai fighters on the planet. Once the dust settled, ‘The General’ had his hand raised by unanimous decision to dethrone Sam-O.
