The flyweight Muay Thai fight between Jordan Estupinan and Freddie Haggerty last Friday evening at ONE 170 inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, got heated at the end of the second round when the latter landed a strike at the end of it.
Estupinan was asked by journalist Nick Atkin in a post-fight interview on what had occurred during that specific sequence, and he responded by stating:
"So the round ended, and he punched me. So I got angry. So I was like 'Why are you punching me? You want more?' So that's all that really happened. But he woke me up. He made me really angry."

Although he was able to secure the convincing unanimous decision victory, the 22-year-old rising star was still not fully satisfied with the outcome of his match against Haggerty because he wanted a stoppage win.
Jordan Estupinan shared this in the same interview with Nick Atkin, where he explained:
"I wanted to knock him out. You know, I dropped him twice. I wanted to finish him, but I didn't get it. But I trained to give my best, to do my best, to give you guys an amazing show. And I think I did it."
