ONE Championship asked fans who they want Jonathan Haggerty to fight next.
On April 21, Haggerty shocked the world by knocking out the legendary Nong-O Hama, ending his 10-0 promotional win streak. ‘The General’ also walked away with the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship, making him a two-division world champion in the promotion.
ONE recently re-posted Haggerty’s legendary knockout win on Instagram with the caption saying:
“This KO sequence was CRAZY 🤯 Who should “The General” defend the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title against FIRST? 🏆 @jhaggerty_”

There is no shortage of potential opponents for Jonathan Haggerty, leading to various answers from fans, including some saying:
“Rematch or Rodtang for sure. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽”
“I think haggerty beats rodtang this time”
“Liam Harrison”
“@nongogaiyanghadao remach ot @rodtang_jimungnon supreme title🥇🥇🥇”
It’s unclear what’s next for Jonathan Haggerty, but two opponents seem most likely. Before moving up to bantamweight, Haggerty competed in two barnburners against Rodtang for the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title. With that said, ‘The General’ looked like an evolved fighter in his new weight class, making a trilogy bout against ‘The Iron Man’ intriguing.
Meanwhile, Liam Harrison is expected to return later this year after recovering from a knee injury in his last fight. Harrison vs. Haggerty would be a stylistic masterpiece that guarantees an action-packed championship fight. Therefore, it would be difficult to complain about that matchup being made.
There’s also still a chance that Nong-O Hama gets an immediate rematch. The 36-year-old held the world title for a long time, but Haggerty won decisively, which could lead to ONE Championship moving forward without the rematch. Regardless of the opponent, ‘The General’ will be ready for another war.
