Jonathan Haggerty credited his work ethic to his success in ONE Championship.
Over the last sixteen months, Haggerty has taken the bantamweight division by storm. He started with a shocking first-round knockout against Nong-O to become the Muay Thai world champion. The UK superstar later became a two-sport world champion by knocking out Fabricio Andrade for the vacant kickboxing strap.
Haggerty's latest win was his first bantamweight Muay Thai title defense - a third-round knockout against Felipe Lobo. It's safe to say the 27-year-old's latest three-fight run, combined with his flyweight Muay Thai world title, has solidified him as one of the greatest fighters in promotional history.

"I'd say I'm one of the hardest workers out there when it comes to training. If I don't give my 100 percent or I'm not at my best, I'm not happy."
At 27 years old, two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty has accomplished more than most combat sports athletes will in their entire careers. With that said, Haggerty's ready for what's next, as several top-tier strikers look to take him out.

Jonathan Haggerty plans to exchange work ethic for a legacy-defining win against Superlek
On September 6, Jonathan Haggerty returns in the ONE 168: Denver main event to defend his bantamweight Muay Thai throne. 'The General' is preparing for arguably the toughest test of his fighting career, as he's been matched up for a rematch against ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek.
Superlek is more than a kickboxer. The Thai superstar holds a promotional Muay Thai record of 10-0, including a unanimous decision against Rodtang. 'The Kicking Machine' now looks to take out Haggerty and become a two-sport world champion.
ONE 168 will be hosted inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Tickets for the must-see event featuring Jonathan Haggerty vs. Superlek and Kade Ruotolo (c) vs. Mikey Musumeci (lightweight submission grappling) can be found on Ticketmaster.
