"Like watching art" - Fans loving the composed technicality Jonathan Haggerty in world title win over Nong-O

Reigning two-sport ONE bantamweight world champion Jonathan Haggerty is currently one of the most savage fighters in the world today, and his technical skills are a big part of his success.

Recently, ONE Championship highlighted this cerebral approach by Haggerty in an Instagram video when 'The General' dropped former bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama during their showdown in April 2023 at ONE Fight Night 9/

The world's largest martial arts organization captioned the post with:

""The General" sends 'em to the canvas 👇 Will Jonathan Haggerty be able to defend the bantamweight Muay Thai throne against Superlek on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver? @jhaggerty"

In the video, the British combat sports superstar set up a beautiful trap for the Thai icon: first, he faked a jab and followed it up with a punch to the body. Then, he went for a two-piece combination using the jab and a right cross that landed on Nong-O's chin, which instantly dropped him.

It was one of the knockdowns he scored against Nong-O before eventually securing the first-round knockout victory. This incredible performance and top-tier technical finesse have garnered positive praise from fans, especially from users @gary_thach, @chanc3th3candyrapp3r, @clothesmonochrome, @yann.lynx, and @daleyjtharrison, who commented:

"Watching haggerty is like watching art. The dude is so clean with his technique."

"The greatest technical fighter of all time"

"Bro is so clean"

"One of the best Nak Muay in history 💪😎🙏"

"Stunning work 👏"
