“Coming for revenge” - Jonathan Haggerty has only one thing on his mind heading into Superlek rematch in Denver
Going into his highly anticipated clash with Superlek, two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty has one thing on his mind—revenge.
After coming up short against 'The Kicking Machine' in a 2018 meeting, the two Muay Thai titans will run it back on Friday, September 6 when ONE Championship heads back to the United States for a loaded night of fights in The Mile High City—Denver, Colorado.
ONE 168 will see Haggerty put his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against Superlek in a clash that, for 'The General,' is about much more than 26 pounds of gold.
"This time, I’m coming for revenge," Haggerty said during the ONE Friday Fights 72 live broadcast. "He’s going to bring the fire out of me, and may the best man win for sure."
It will be Haggerty's second defense of the bantamweight Muay Thai crown after scoring a sensational come-from-behind KO against 'Demolition Man' Felipe Lobo at ONE Fight Night 19 in February.
Superlek looking to secure two-sport glory against Jonathan Haggerty at ONE 168
Superlek goes into his first shot at ONE Muay Thai gold riding a massive 10-fight win streak in the art of eight limbs, including wins over 'The Iron Man' Rodtang and Kongthoranee Sor Sommai.
In between those victories, 'The Kicking Machine' successfully defended his ONE flyweight kickboxing world championship against Japanese K-1 icon Takeru Segawa in January.
Not to be outdone, Jonathan Haggerty added a handful of earth-shattering knockouts to his resume over the last year, including a first-round KO against former ONE world champion Nong-O Hama and a second-round destruction of reigning ONE bantamweight MMA titleholder Fabricio Andrade.
Will 'The General' add another highlight-reel finish to his resume in The Centennial State, or will Superlek score his second ONE world title and stake his claim as the best P4P fighter in the world?
