“Gladiator vibes” - Fans are beyond hyped for impending world title clash between Fabricio Andrade and Jonathan Haggerty

A ONE Championship post regarding Fabricio Andrade and Jonathan Haggerty’s entertaining squabble online has caused a flurry of reactions from the fans this week.

The two bantamweight world champions aren’t too far behind from putting their threats into action as the countdown to ONE Fight Night 16 on Prime Video continues.

With a vacant ONE bantamweight kickboxing belt on the line, emotions are running at an all-time high.

A few days ago, the pair engaged in a whole new level of trash-talk on Instagram after Jonathan Haggerty, the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion, accused ONE bantamweight MMA world champion Fabricio Andrade of being fake:

“You see me in the back room,” Haggerty said. “And now you want to say it on social media? If you want it, you can have it.”

Check out Andrade’s response below:

“What do you expect? Me to shake your hand and pretend we are friends? No fake **** here. You said you wanna fight me before, now is the time.”

As the bad blood between them continues to boil, fans have chimed in on social media to share their thoughts about how each fighter handled the argument.

They may have once supported one champion over the other at the start, but after what has transpired between them, they might be hoping for different outcomes.
