Kongthoranee expects a clash of styles between ‘equally great fighters’ Superlek and Jonathan Haggerty in Denver
Kongthoranee Sor Sommai is excited to see how things play out when Superlek and Jonathan Haggerty square off for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship.
On Friday, September 6, ONE Championship will return to the United States for a loaded ONE 168 card at Ball Arena in The Mile High City—Denver, Colorado. Taking center stage will be two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty as he puts 26 pounds of gold on the line against one of the most dynamic strikers in Muay Thai, Superlek.
Days before he steps inside the Circle with Superlek, Kongthoranee shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated title tilt, telling the South China Morning Post:
"I feel like between Jonathan and Superlek are both great fighters, equally great fighters. They just have different styles. I think that fight would be really, really fun to watch."
Fortunately, fans won't have to wait until September to see 'The Kicking Machine' back in action.
