Jonathan Haggerty has an opportunity to extend legendary ONE Championship career
Jonathan Haggerty started his ONE Championship tenure in the flyweight Muay Thai division. 'The General' became a world champion by taking out Sam-A and Joseph Lasiri, but he later lost his throne due to consecutive defeats against Rodtang.
Over the last year, Haggerty has strengthened his promotional resume with wins against Nong-O, Fabricio Andrade (kickboxing), and Felipe Lobo. The two-sport world champion now looks to solidify himself as a legend under the ONE banner by taking out the flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek in a rematch.
Superlek has always been a highly-touted striker. With that said, 'The Kicking Machine' has taken his status to another level by taking out Rodtang (Muay Thai) and Takeru Segawa (kickboxing) in the last eleven months. The 28-year-old plans to continue building momentum by ending Haggerty's world-class run.
