“That would be massive” - Liam Harrison would be shocked if Jonathan Haggerty got past Superlek at ONE 168

British Muay Thai icon and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom believes two-sport world champion 'The General' Jonathan Haggerty needs to stop preying on older fighters.

The Bad Company representative says his English rival should instead fight opponents in their prime, which is neither scarce nor rare in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Haggerty is one of the most decorated world champions in ONE Championship, but his most notable wins have come against a pair of aged Thai legends in Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Nong-O Hama.

Speaking to Sky Sports MMA Club in a recent interview, Harrison revealed the two names Haggerty needs to beat if he wants to be considered as the best.

'Hitman' stated:

"Haggerty needs to fight Superlek at his prime and if he comes through that fight then (bleep) fair to the guy because that would be massive but if he does go through Superlek then he has to go through Nico Carrillo, he’s got to go through him."

Haggerty is set to defend his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai gold against flyweight kickboxing kingpin Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE 168: Denver this September. If he is victorious, he could draw no.1-ranked Nico Carrillo as the next challenger to his Muay Thai throne.
