Having an opportunity to succeed is everything to someone that has worked their entire lives in the hopes of getting that one shot. For Felipe Lobo, his dreams may just turn into reality at ONE Fight Night 19.
‘The Demolition Man’ will get the opportunity of a lifetime to prove that he belongs amongst the world’s best Muay Thai fighters. He will headline the February 16 event against Jonathan Haggerty in the latter’s defense of the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship.
Currently ranked as the third and fourth fighter in ONE Championship’s bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing divisions, respectively, Lobo contains fearsome power throughout his arsenal.
In his last bout, Lobo proved that he will be more than enough of a threat against Haggerty as he sent feared striker Saemapetch Fairtex to the shadow realm with a flurry of punches that would make Mike Tyson proud.
