Jonathan Haggerty says he respects Superlek as a 'tough foe' in ONE 168
Ahead of the much-anticipated title defense clash between the two-sport ruler Jonathan Haggerty and flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6, the two shared a brief encounter.
Both superstars were seen attending ONE 167 at the sold-out Impact Arena, Bangkok, on June 7, before Haggerty is set to defend his bantamweight Muay Thai belt in Denver, Colorado.
Following the short meet-up, 'The General' shared his opinion about his upcoming foe in the same interview with Sportskeeda MMA.
He said:
"Yeah, I've seen Superlek. I saw them all. But there wasn't much back-and-forth between me and Superlek. It was just like 'How are you.'"
"Basically, there's mutual respect between me and Superlek. It was just good to be around it, you know, back in the ONE Championship atmosphere, and what a show it was."
While the encounter was brief, there's no telling what will happen when they both clash in what is to be expected as a barnburner fight in U.S. primetime.
Tickets to ONE 168: Denver are available via Ticketmaster.
