While Jonathan Haggerty insists he's found a few gaps in Superlek's game, 'The Kicking Machine' hasn't located any flaws while doing his homework on the two-sport king—or so he says.
On Friday, September 6, Superlek will return to the Circle determined to bring a second ONE world title back home to Thailand as the reigning ONE flyweight kickboxing champion moves up a weight class to challenge Haggerty for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai crown.
With their massive champion vs. champion clash rapidly approaching, Superlek has been studying his opponent intently, but so far, has found few holes to exploit. He told ONE Championship:

"He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. He’s in his prime with lots of confidence. I wouldn’t say there are any weaknesses for him."
Both fighters walk into ONE 168: Denver backed by a solid win streak. Haggerty has bested his last six opponents with a trio of epic KOs in his last three outings.
Meanwhile, 'The Kicking Machine' has seen his hand raised in 10 straight with noteworthy wins against Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Takeru Segawa, and Thai prospect Kongthoranee.
Jonathan Haggerty could achieve P4P greatness with a win over Superlek
Stepping into the main event spotlight at ONE 168: Denver, Jonathan Haggerty will defend his bantamweight Muay Thai title for the second time—the first coming against 'Demolition Man' Felipe Lobo in February.
After facing some early adversity, 'The General' stormed back in the second round before finishing Lobo in the third with an epic come-from-behind knockout.
Even before that, Haggerty established himself as one of the P4P greatest strikers on the planet with a pair of earth-shattering finishes against Nong-O Hama and Fabricio Andrade to claim both the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world championships.
If he can snatch a win over Superlek on martial arts' biggest global stage, there will be no denying that 'The General' is the greatest pound-for-pound Muay Thai practitioner in the world.
