"Such a great knockout" - Fans can't get enough of Jonathan Haggerty's surreal knockout of Thai legend Nong-O

Reigning ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty shockingly dethroned then-bantamweight Muay Thai king Nong-O Hama with a superb knockout in April 2023.

'The General' looked back at his momentous achievement and the emotions he felt at the time in a video shared by ONE Championship on Instagram.

See the video below:

Fans were greatly impressed with Haggerty's power and shared their thoughts in the comments section, which can be read below:

"Such a great knockout"

"Remember watching this after seeing him come off back-to-back Ls from Rodtang, and I always support our boys, but I genuinely thought coming up to Nong-O's division against the man himself was gonna be too much for him. Never screamed so loud in my life when he got that first knock down. Respect to Nong-O though, one of my absolute favorite."

"This was wild 🔥🔥🔥"

"Still don't know how Nong-O lost like that sucks but these men are warriors so..."

"The hand speed and boxing is just incredible to watch."

After this outing, Haggerty won the then-vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing world championship with a second-round knockout of bantamweight MMA king Fabricio Andrade in November 2023.
