"Mans got skills" - Fans impressed with Jonathan Haggerty's mastery over Sam-A, hyped for Denver duel against Superlek

Ever since signing with ONE Championship in 2019, Jonathan Haggerty has made his mark not only under the promotion but also throughout the martial arts community by beating legendary fighters and breaking their streaks.

His first famous victory was against Sam-A Gaiyanghadao at ONE: For Honor card in May 2019, where he scored a massive upset via unanimous decision to dethrone the former divisional king and capture the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title.

'The General' looked back at this crowning glory in a recent Instagram post by the world's largest martial arts organization, and they captioned it with:

"Defying the odds 😤 Can we expect another unforgettable performance from Jonathan Haggerty on September 6 when he defended the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title against Superlek at ONE 168: Denver? 👑 @jhaggerty_"

This career-defining win by the British striking sensation was commended by fans, especially from users @skyninjaaa, @lukas.silva079, @brandons___1, and @larsgeutjes, who commented:

"Mans got skills 👏🏽"

"I can't think of any other Muay Thai fighter that has a better teep then haggerty"

"Haggerty the real deal 💯"

"That teep was insane"
