Fans and followers are also offering a salute to ‘The General’ and acknowledging that he looks ready to go. One of his ‘soldiers’ said:

Jonathan Haggerty is one of six fighters aiming for a shot at the world title

While there are eight fighters participating in the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Grand Prix, only six other fighters apart from Jonathan Haggerty are looking for a shot at the world title.

Division king Rodtang Jitmuangnon is also participating in the tournament and is the only fighter who doesn’t need that opportunity since he’s already holding the gold strap. He faces promotional newcomer Jacob Smith in the quarterfinals of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Haggerty will figure in a battle of previous world title challengers when he faces Walter Goncalves. The 23-year-old from Brazil is known for being one of the toughest challenges of Rodtang’s world title reign. Both fighters will certainly not pull punches on their quest to get another shot at Rodtang's crown.

Thai superstar Superlek is also part of the tournament and will face Japanese striker Taiki Naito, while WBC and WMC Muay Thai world champion Savvas Michael will battle Omnoi Stadium champion Amir Naseri. Both matchups will be key highlights in the lead card of the event.
