Jonathan Haggerty showcased his world-class kicking technique in a recent training video.
Haggerty is currently preparing for a massive opportunity awaiting at ONE Fight Night 9 on Prime Video. The former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion is looking to pull off an upset against Nong-O Hama to become the bantamweight king. He updated fans on his training with an Instagram video that had the caption:
“Skills pay the bills 👀 @onechampionship #AndTheNew #2x”
‘The General’ made his ONE debut in January 2019, defeating Joseph Lasiri before becoming the flyweight champion against Sam-A Gaiyanghadao. Unfortunately for him, he was unable to defend and reclaim the throne as Rodtang Jitmuangnon beat him in back-to-back fights.

Haggerty bounced back from his series against Rodtang by defeating Taiki Naito and Mongkolpetch Petchyindee. He last fought at a catchweight of 148 lbs, taking out Vladimir Kuzmin by a decision. ‘The General’ is now committing to the bantamweight division with his upcoming bout against Nong-O.

Fans react to Jonathan Haggerty’s recent training video
Jonathan Haggerty has become a fan favorite for his savage fighting style and unwillingness to give up. As a result, the 26-year-old has a diehard fanbase that always supports him. When he posted the video of him training, fans filled the comment section with praise:
“That fake to switch kick is so fast. Can’t wait to watch this fight going to be class.🔥”
“That was cleann, looking forward to seeing this in action against Nong-O”
“U can tell he's gained some size on his frame.!”
“Love the switch kick after the fake effortless,fluid & powerful”
“Man that switch kick is like mechanical perfection 🔥🔥”
Although Haggerty has sported a more natural physique at bantamweight, he needs to be prepared for a war in his upcoming fight. Nong-O Hama is an 8x bantamweight Muay Thai world champion who holds an undefeated ONE Championship record of 10-0. If ‘The General’ can take out the Thai phenom, his legacy would be solidified as one of the best strikers in ONE’s history.
