Speaking to the promotion, Superlek noted:

"It'll be explosive. I'll go all out in this fight. It'll be exciting, and you won't be disappointed! I've always been a technical fighter. I've never been knocked out in my career, but I'll go all out this time."

The Thai megastar rides into this fixture on a 10-match winning streak against the very best in the promotion, Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Takeru Segawa, Daniel Puertas, Danial Williams, and Panpayak Jitmuangnon.

While he'll be confident of taking it to eleven on the trot, Haggerty's size and power, plus the tricky Denver altitude, could throw a spanner in the works.

Find out if he can overcome those challenges and claim his second world title under the promotional banner by tuning in to ONE 168: Denver, available to active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America for free.


Stephen Loman says Superlek's power will 'double' in bantamweight switch for Jonathan Haggerty clash

Meanwhile, No.2-ranked bantamweight MMA contender Stephen Loman believes Superlek's move from flyweight to bantamweight will give him tons of added advantage, mainly in terms of his power.

The Filipino martial artist weighed in on the ONE 168: Denver headliner during a recent catchup with Sportskeeda MMA, saying:

"Now I think he won't be cutting weight for this match against Haggerty then his strength will be double at least."

Tickets for the stacked card are available on Ticketmaster.
