"That's the move everybody loves" - Jonathan Haggerty revisits signature tomahawk elbows he unleashed vs Joseph Lasiri

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty has every strike imaginable in his amazing repertoire.

But before he became the megastar that he is today, 'The General' first rose to prominence with his ferocious downward elbows that spelled Joseph Lasiri's demise.

Haggerty introduced himself to the home of martial arts back in 2019, where he took on 'The Hurricane' at ONE: Eternal Glory.

While the fighting Brit was sensational across three rounds, it was his brilliant use of those slicing tomahawk weapons that piqued the public's interest.

In a clip called "Retrospect with Jonathan Haggerty" on YouTube, the double champion recalled his magnificent ONE debut.

"I was just getting into the fight for the first round, and he caught me with a few good shots, which I didn't expect. He busted my nose, and I couldn't breathe out my nose for this fight."

Haggerty then turned the tides using his spear-like weapons of mass destruction that floored Lasiri. He continued:

"So he gave me a great fight. And there's the iconic downward elbow. I think that elbow was the one that put me on the map. That's the one, the move that everyone loves."
