Jonathan Haggerty Faces Multiple Options for His Next ONE Championship Fight
Jonathan Haggerty, a prominent fighter in ONE Championship, finds himself in a fortunate position with several potential opponents for his upcoming fight. After his impressive victory over Nong-O Hama, the former featherweight kickboxing champion, Haggerty has become a sought-after contender in the bantamweight Muay Thai division.
Superbon Calls for an Immediate Rematch Between Nong-O and Haggerty
Superbon Singha Mawynn, a former champion and close friend and training partner of Nong-O Hama, strongly believes that Nong-O deserves an immediate rematch against Haggerty. Superbon, known as “The General” in Thailand, recognizes Haggerty’s skills but asserts that Nong-O should have another chance to reclaim his title.
In a stunning turn of events, Jonathan Haggerty delivered a first-round knockout against Nong-O on his home turf at Lumpinee Stadium. Not only did Haggerty dethrone the 36-year-old veteran, but he also secured an extraordinary US$100,000 performance bonus. Superbon acknowledges Haggerty’s success but suggests that the fighter needs to prove himself further.
Haggerty’s Alternatives: Trilogy Against Rodtang and a Possible Match with Liam Harrison
While Superbon urges a rematch, Haggerty has other options in mind. One potential path is a trilogy fight against Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who not only claimed the flyweight title from Haggerty but also defeated him in his first title defense. Another enticing prospect is a showdown with British legend Liam Harrison in the UK. However, considering Nong-O’s impressive track record, an immediate rematch seems justified.
Superbon recognizes the potential excitement of a fight against Rodtang but suggests that Haggerty’s larger size could give him an advantage. Superbon acknowledges Haggerty’s power, particularly at higher weight classes. However, Superbon maintains that a rematch with Nong-O is the most deserving option for Haggerty to prove himself as the ultimate fighter.
Superbon weighs in on potential opponents for Haggerty and emphasizes the importance of a rematch with Nong-O. While Haggerty has enticing alternatives, Superbon argues that facing Nong-O again will solidify Haggerty’s position as a top fighter in the bantamweight Muay Thai division.
