ONE 168 results: Jonathan Haggerty vs. Superlek Kiatmoo9

In the ONE 168: Denver main event, two-sport king Jonathan Haggerty took center stage to put his ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against the flyweight division’s reigning kickboxing world titleholder, Superlek Kiatmoo9.

Superlek and Haggerty previously met in 2018, before either one of them ever stepped foot inside the Circle. On that night, ‘The Kicking Machine’ came out on top via a second-round doctor’s stoppage TKO. Haggerty was determined to even the series and establish himself as perhaps the best pound-for-pound Muay Thai fighter in the world.

Round 1: Haggerty gets his jab going early and goes right at Superlek, landing a nice right hand that backs up the Thai. Perhaps encouraged by the immediate success, Haggerty moves in quickly, but Superlek times Haggerty’s entry perfectly and lands an incredible elbow that puts ‘The General’ on the mat.

Haggerty gets back to his feet, but not before the referee reaches 10, bringing the end of the bout in the opening minute.
