"New mythical creature unlocked" - Fans feel the power of Superlek's iconic one-shot KO of Jonathan Haggerty in Denver

Superlek Kiatmoo9 joined an exclusive club of ONE Championship fighters when he defeated Jonathan Haggerty in the main event of ONE 168: Denver at the Ball Arena in Colorado.

He only needed 49 seconds to knock 'The General' out in the opening round of their ONE bantamweight Muay Thai clash and become the latest double world champion in the world's largest martial arts organization.

ONE Championship posted the winning moment of Superlek on Instagram, and they captioned the video:

"AND NEW 👑 Superlek KOs Jonathan Haggerty in 49 SECONDS to become the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion! @superlek789"

'The Kicking Machine' showed that his kicks are not the only lethal weapon he's got because he caught the British superstar with a beautiful elbow that stunned him and made him unable to continue.

This shook the combat sports community, and fans greatly complimented the now-two-sport and two-division world champion. Users @8tribemuaythai, @rylan_gutz, @ssnatchdj, @kiyazaki_, @kasonbrown.bjj, and @aiday_akunova showed their love to Superlek with their comments:

Superlek wants to defend both of his titles after victory against Jonathan Haggerty

Now that he has two 26-pound golden belts, the target on Superlek's back is bigger, as more contenders will try to dethrone him. However, the Kiatmoo9 Gym representative has no problem with this and is open to welcoming more opponents in both divisions.

Superlek shared this during his post-fight interview, where he confidently said:

"My next fight is up to Chatri [Sityodtong]. The flyweight division is mine. I'm ready to defend it. The bantamweight division [is] mine as well. I am ready to defend all of my territory."
