Jonathan Haggerty expects a 'very hard fight' against Superlek in Denver
While fired up to secure a victory over 'The Kicking Machine,' Haggerty believes it would be anything but a walk in the park. Superlek rides on an impressive 10-match winning streak — a run that includes victories over Takeru Segawa and Rodtang Jitmuangnon.
As tough as it sounds, the two-sport king is game to see how this fight unfolds and promises to make life difficult for the Thai megastar, who is eager to claim two-sport world championship status in the main event of ONE 168: Denver.
In the same interview, Jonathan Haggerty continued:
"Of course, Superlek is one of the best, if not the best out there. I know it's going to be a very hard fight, but I'm ready to see where this fight goes. I'll be on the hunt, and he'll be out there to try and get me, too. But I'm still confident in my plan and what I can do to overcome him."
