The world’s largest martial arts organization may be featuring some of the baddest men and women on the planet at ONE: BIG BANG this coming Friday, 4 December, but there are plans for a second dose of hard-hitting action just a week later.

On Friday, 11 December, the promotion will air ONE: BIG BANG II from the Singapore Indoor Stadium, and the show will feature a trio of mixed martial arts contests, a pair of kickboxing bouts, and a Muay Thai thriller in the headline attraction.

In the main event, former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Jonathan “The General” Haggerty makes his highly-anticipated return against Japanese dynamo Taiki “Silent Sniper” Naito.

Haggerty had an amazing start in ONE Championship.

In January 2019, the British striker defeated the always-exciting Joseph “The Hurricane” Lasiri via unanimous decision, and afterward he dominated then-titleholder Sam-A Gaiyanghadao over the course of five rounds to win the ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Championship later that May.

But the Englishman’s World Title reign was short-lived. In August 2019, Rodtang “The Iron Man” Jitmuangnon defeated Haggerty in a very tight five-round contest to claim the belt, and then the Thai megastar stopped him via third-round TKO in their rematch five months later.

Now, after spending the past 10 months on the sidelines, “The General” is ready to make his return and is looking for redemption.

Haggerty, who is the #3-ranked flyweight Muay Thai contender, believes he can beat Rodtang, and the road to a trilogy bout starts in Singapore.
