"The General has to be 90% Thai" - Fans can't help but admire Jonathan Haggerty's textbook sweep of Nong-O
Just when you think you've got Jonathan Haggerty all figured out, he does a 180 on you and beats one of the longest reigning Muay Thai champions in ONE history.
Haggerty long ago proved he was not just another pretty face. He certainly has the technical skills and mental fortitude to make his dreams into a reality.
When 'The General' took on Nong-O Hama for the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title, many doubted his ability to match the champ's indestruble Thai-style of fighting. Evidently, the critics were very wrong to assume that.
Haggerty ultimately beat Nong-O Hama at his own game, going so far as to using the Muay Thai sweep against him.

"The fans have spoken" - Fans predict the winner between Jonathan Haggerty and Superlek for the bantamweight gold at ONE 168
The fight fans have certainly spoken this week after taking an online poll predicting the winner of their bantamweight Muay Thai world title clash at ONE 168.
Two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty is currently riding the longest win streak of his career yet with a total of six consecutive victories in the last four years.
