Jonathan Haggerty’s incredible win streak came to an end in short fashion last night (Fri., Sept. 6, 2024) in the main event of One Championship 168, which took place inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
The 27-year-old English striker had won seven straight bouts leading up to his main event slot, capturing both the Bantamweight kickboxing and Muay Thai titles in One. In an attempted second defense of his Muay Thai world title, Haggerty rematched Superlek Kiatmuu9, a surging Thai veteran who had defeated Haggerty back in 2018.
Haggerty started the match strong enough, firing long distance shots and aggressively looking to build combinations. Unfortunately for “The General,” Superlek twice looked to time his attack with counter elbows, and the second landed flush. Haggery hit the floor, and though he was able to make it up just as the referee finished his ten count, the fight was called.
The full finish can be seen in the video player above.
It’s another tremendous win for Superlek. The 28-year-old Nak Muay is riding an amazing 13-fight win streak and entered this match up already as the One Flyweight kickboxing world champion. After the win, Superlek expressed interest in challenging Haggerty for his Bantamweight kickboxing belt as well, but a rematch versus the popular slugger Rodtang was also proposed.
Either way, it’s another huge win for the decorated knockout artist.
