The rivalry between Haggerty and Andrade, the ONE bantamweight MMA world champion, has forced fans to take sides based on their past performances.

‘The General’ for his part, has the ability to become a two-sport world champion based upon his crushing victory over long-reigning bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama last April.

He was obviously not the favorite coming into that match-up. Nong-O Hama was considered the best pound-for-pound striker on the planet before Haggerty came into the world title picture.

However, Haggerty silenced his critics with an unprecedented knockout in the first round to become arguably the No.1 Muay Thai striker in the world.

Brazilian MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade, however, is no stranger to violence or kickboxing for that matter.

Prior to joining ONE Championship, Andrade accumulated an impressive kickboxing and Muay Thai record of 40-3. Having received most of his training in Thailand, fans understand that Andrade is not the type to cower away in fear.

He will carry over that warrior spirit into the ring on November 3 and make a statement for all the world to see.
