Just like he always does, Superlek Kiatmoo9 will enter his bantamweight Muay Thai world title fight against champion Jonathan Haggerty with a calculated plan of attack.

However, considering he'll be taking on one of the finest warriors on Earth, the Thai megastar acknowledges that he may need to eventually shift gears.

The final act of the historic ONE 168: Denver card this coming Friday will feature a battle between two of the best strikers in the world, pound for pound.

To successfully dethrone 'The General' on September 6 at Ball Arena, Superlek can't afford to be too predictable and risk getting outplayed by the two-sport world champion.

Luckily for the flyweight kickboxing king, he's a master when it comes to adjusting mid-fight.

'The Kicking Machine' shared in a South China Morning Post interview:

"I mean, as a technical fighter, of course, at a certain level [I can adjust]. I'm good at changing the game plan and improvising the game plans."

Moreover, Superlek added that he also anticipates his cerebral British opponent to make the necessary tweaks in between rounds. He furthered:

"And I'm expecting Haggerty to come and also just try to fix [and adjust] his game plan when he faces me as well."

Here's Superlek's SCMP MMA interview in its entirety:

Superlek warns Jonathan Haggerty that he's not just a kicker

Superlek earned the nickname 'The Kicking Machine' for his ability to cause mayhem using his legs.

His world-class kicks, particularly from the right side, are truly his best weapons.

However, if Haggerty will only focus on dodging those missile-like kicks, Superlek said the double-champ will be in for quite the surprise.

The Thai destroyer said in the same interview:

"I know 'The Kicking Machine' has always been my name, and people focus on my kicks, but I want to elaborate I'm not only good with my kicks. I feel like my elbows are probably better."

Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are available via Ticketmaster.
