ONE Championship fans all over social media have taken to Jonathan Haggerty's recreation of the powerful teep kick. The clip of the Englishman practicing the kick was recently shared by the martial arts promotion on its official Instagram handle.

One fan (@alideeb1001) was impressed enough to comment on the post with "This is sparta," which has been trending over Instagram like wildfire!

Haggerty will be competing at ONE 157 in the Flyweight Muay Thai Grand Prix tournament, which fans will not want to miss.

ONE Championship posted the clip with this caption:

"The General" packs POWER 🦶 Will Jonathan Haggerty climb to the 🔝 of the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix kicking off THIS FRIDAY? 👀 @jhaggerty_"

Check out the Instagram post below:

This is the same teep kick that Haggerty famously used to drop Muay Thai veteran Sam-A Gaiyanghadao in their ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title bout in 2019.

Jonathan Haggerty previously shared a post on Instagram referencing the strike and captioned it:

"It’s all about timing. Who’s a fan of this teep? 🤪 @onechampionship"

Fans are eagerly waiting to witness another Spartan teep, this time against Brazilian striker Walter Goncalves in the Grand Prix quarterfinals at ONE 157.

However, the teep is not the only technique Goncalves has to watch out for. Haggerty possesses a varied arsenal of tools to hurt his opponent.

His unpredictability and unrelenting pressure are what makes 'The General' so dangerous. He can create a lot of trouble for any opponent who shares the cage with him.
