"It's going to be a long night" - Jonathan Haggerty plans to punish Superlek in their world title showdown at ONE 168
ONE bantamweight Muay Thai and kickboxing world champion Jonathan Haggerty promises that ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 will regret challenging him for the 145-pound Muay Thai crown at ONE 168: Denver on Friday, Sept. 6, inside the Ball Arena.
ONE Championship recently shared a video of 'The General' in the closing stages of his training camp via Instagram, and he had the following to say:
"It's going to be a long night for Superlek. Just focused on one goal and that's [to] get in there and do the job. Camp's going good. Fight week's better than ever. Everything's smooth. Got everyone around me that I need. The time has come. Let's go. See what you're [Superlek] made of."
