"If 'ouch' was a verb" - Fans feel the intensity behind Jonathan Haggerty's nasty downward elbow against Joseph Lasiri

ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty captured the attention of ONE Championship fans in his promotional debut in January 2019 against Joseph Lasiri.

Haggerty showcased his mastery of 'The Art of Eight Limbs' against 'The Hurricane' by landing a tomahawk elbow that sent Lasiri crashing to the canvas.

ONE Championship shared a slow-mo breakdown of Haggerty's crushing power on Instagram:

Fans felt the strike coming through their screens and shared their thoughts in the comments section, which can be read below:

"If 'ouch' was a verb."

"That f hurt 😂"

"Damn Swaggerty👏 They calling you the 'Thai eater'😂"

"Yeahhh that's a long day for anyone 😢😂"

"Such a savage strike, UK's best 🔥👊🏻🔥👊🏻"

Lasiri would get up from that knockdown and continue fighting, but 'The General' would not let up from his onslaught and eventually claimed the unanimous decision victory.

Haggerty will look to have another show-stopping outing at ONE 168: Denver on September 6 as he defends the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship against flyweight kickboxing king Superlek Kiatmoo9 inside the Ball Arena.
