"That hurt the most" - Jonathan Haggerty says Rodtang loss was more painful than being KO'ed by Superlek in Denver

For all of the success that Jonathan Haggerty has achieved in his career, he's had some difficult lows along with it.

The best fighters and champions are the ones that learn from these experiences and come back stronger from them and 'The General' has done this on multiple occasions.

Some of his most iconic fights against the likes of Rodtang Jitmuangnon have resulted in losses but through the experience that he has accumulated, they have become easier to overcome and grow from.

During a recent appearance on the Winners Talking Podcast, Haggerty compared his losses to 'The Iron Man' to his recent setback at ONE 168: Denver against Superlek Kiatmoo9 inside the opening minute:

"I'd say the first Rodtang loss, losing the belt, that hurt the most. Obviously, the second one, I knew I'd been there before, I've lost it. So after this Superlek fight, I just dusted it off, told myself I've been here and I've done this before. And I can get it again, no problem."

Jonathan Haggerty is ready to move on to the next chapter

As he said himself, Jonathan Haggerty has already put his loss to Superlek behind him and his previous losses have helped him to do that.

After taking some time to be around his loved ones, the Brit can remove the emotional element of losing the fight so that he can take lessons from it.

He's bounced back incredibly well in the past having achieved great things at bantamweight following his back-to-back fights against Rodtang at flyweight.

Haggerty will now look to do the same by returning to action under the ONE banner soon in a new chapter for the ONE bantamweight kickboxing world champion.
