In April of this year, Jonathan Haggerty officially left the flyweight division, where he is a former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion. To minimalize his weight cut, Haggerty moved up to bantamweight and challenged Nong-O for the division’s throne.
Not only did Haggerty defeat Nong-O, but he ran through the Thai superstar to secure a first-round knockout. ‘The General’ now looks to further his legacy by adding a third ONE Championship world title to his resume.
Standing in Haggerty’s way is Fabricio Andrade.
On February 24, Andrade broke down John Lineker with his striking to claim the vacant ONE bantamweight MMA world title. With a win against Haggerty, ‘Wonder Boy’ would solidify himself as one of the most dangerous MMA strikers in the world.
Jonathan Haggerty vs. Fabricio Andrade will headline ONE Fight Night 16, which takes place inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. The November 3 event can be seen live and for free by North American viewers with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
