The 28-year-old said:
"Yeah, 100% I feel like he's going to come out for the first two rounds, trying to stop me, and once he realizes he can't, and I'm in there to fight, and I'm in there and I'm tougher than ever, he's going to be questioning himself as soon as I start putting the combinations together. Yeah, there we go."
Needless to say, Haggerty is aiming to add Superlek to his list of victims, and all fight fans will be entertained with one of the biggest fights in Muay Thai when ONE opens its doors on Friday afternoon next week.
