Anane, Haggerty, and 'The Kicking Machine' have made themselves household names in their respective weight classes and martial arts discipline. As a whole, the trio holds a combined record of 31 wins with 11 knockouts in ONE.

21-year-old Anane is the youngest of the group, and ONE fans have high hopes for his future in the promotion after he notched seven straight triumphs since his June 2023 promotional debut knockout defeat to Superlek.

Meanwhile, 'The General' and Superlek are already superstars in their own right. Haggerty's most iconic win in the promotion happened in April 2023 when he took the ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship from the great Nong-O Hama.

As for the Kiatmoo9 Gym representative, he holds show-stopping wins over former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon and Haggerty.
