WATCH: The three-step process to Jonathan Haggerty's lethal tomahawk elbow against Joseph Lasiri
Reigning two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty made a lasting impression on combat sports fans around the world during his debut in ONE Championship in Jan. 2019 at the ONE: Eternal Glory card, which took place inside the Istora Senayan in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Haggerty was pitted against Joseph Lasiri in a flyweight Muay Thai fight and one of his best moments during the showdown was reposted by ONE Championship on Instagram recently.
In the caption, they wrote:
"Ain't no stopping "The General" 😤 Will Jonathan Haggerty remain bantamweight Muay Thai king on September 6 when he defends his crown against Superlek at ONE 168: Denver? @jhaggerty_"
As seen in the video, 'The General' masterfully landed a tomahawk elbow that instantly floored the Italian-Moroccan athlete down to the mat. Haggerty perfectly set up the solid strike with a fake teep and a great measure of distance.
In the end, the British superstar picked up the unanimous decision win over Lasiri and enjoyed a successful debut under the ONE banner.
