WATCH: Jonathan Haggerty's insane flyweight Muay Thai banger against Taiki Naito in Singapore
After Jonathan Haggerty went to war against Rodtang Jitmuangnon for the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title, he was pitted against Taiki Naito in the main event of ONE: Big Bang II card in December 2020, which went down inside the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
The highlights of their thrilling flyweight Muay Thai match were recently reposted by ONE Championship on their YouTube channel, and they had the video's caption with:
"Muay Thai MADNESS 🤯 Can Jonathan Haggerty remain as the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai king when he defends the crown against Superlek on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver? 🏆 @jhaggerty_"
The right-hand punch was the money shot for 'The General' all fight long, as he even scored two knockdowns against the 'Silent Sniper' to further extend his lead on the judges' scorecards.
Eventually, the British combat superstar bagged the win via unanimous decision and recorded his third triumph under the world's largest martial arts organization. Additionally, Haggerty hasn't lost a fight since and won his next fight bouts.
