WATCH: Jonathan Haggerty lands a variety of strikes with power and precision

Jonathan Haggerty is ready for battle next month as he will be taxed with handing Muay Thai legend Nong-O Hama his first loss under the ONE Championship banner.

‘The General’ returns in April with his eyes on 26 pounds of ONE gold and Nong-O’s ‘O’ as the pair meet in the middle of the circle at ONE Fight Night 9 on Prime Video. A month out from their highly anticipated showdown, ONE Championship shared a clip of Jonathan Haggerty delivering an impressive striking display with the caption:

"‘The General’ is ready to go to BATTLE 😤 on April 21 as he challenges Nong-O Hama for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE Fight Night 9 on Prime Video! 🏆”

After being forced to withdraw from the promotion’s ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix tournament last year, Haggerty returned to action in November, moving up to bantamweight for a battle with Russian standout Vladimir Kuzmin. ‘The General’ looked sharp throughout the three-round duration, earning a unanimous decision.

Winning his third straight, Haggerty was rewarded with the opportunity to main event ONE Fight Night 9 opposite one of the world’s most dangerous Muay Thai strikers. Amazon Prime Video subscribers can catch Jonathan Haggerty vs. Nong-O Hama live and for free in U.S. primetime.
