Two-sport ONE world champion Jonathan Haggerty could be making a move to MMA after winning the Muay Thai and Kickboxing titles.

In an interview with ONE Championship, the British fighter claimed that bantamweight MMA world champ Fabricio Andrade, who Haggerty defeated in a kickboxing title bout, would be in trouble if they ever clashed in MMA.

“I feel like I’d be very dangerous for him. I’d probably be the most dangerous in the division for him if I was to face him. I also said give me the contract and give me 12 weeks and I’m ready to go.”

Jonathan Haggerty to defend Muay Thai title on Friday

On Friday February 16 at ONE Fight Night 19, Jonathan Haggerty will attempt to defend his bantamweight Muay Thai title against top contender Felipe Lobo.

The technical Brazilian fighter challenged Nong-O Hama for the Muay Thai world title in 2022, but fell short just like so many before him.

Haggerty sent a warning to Lobo ahead of Friday’s title fight.

”He did great against Saemapetch. He came back from a knockdown and showed great heart and great determination, so this will be a great fight. But he won’t be getting back up after I hit him. That’s the difference.”
