“When they offered me this fight, I took it right away, really. I’m looking forward to winning the fight and dominating Haggerty. I didn’t second guess it for a second. I took it right away. That was the mentality when I first got the offer to fight against Haggerty.”

Amir Naseri is not impressed with Jonathan Haggerty

The former Omnoi Stadium Champion says that with how much experience he has, Haggerty will bring nothing new to the table and there is nothing special about him. While speaking to ONE, Naseri explained:

“I feel like I’ve fought smart and technically sound fighters throughout my career, so I view Haggerty as someone similar. I’ve also defeated most of those fighters, so I see this ending the same. I’m looking forward to winning the fight and dominating Haggerty. There’s nothing special about him.”

Naseri will have a huge opportunity to prove himself to the Muay Thai world when he faces 'The General' on August 26. He will be looking to bounce back from a loss in his debut.

This will be Naseri's second bout in ONE Championship and he will have a chance to impress fans when he competes at ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II, which will be broadcast live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium and airs at US primetime via Amazon Prime Video.
