Jonathan “The General” Haggerty’s 14-1 record is dwarfed by the 366-46-9 slate of the man he will challenge for the gold in Jakarta, but he is an elite athlete, and he believes his youth, power, and hunger will take him to victory against the 35-year-old.
The 22-year-old already has seasoning at the elite level and holds the ISKA and Roar Combat League Muay Thai World Titles. He showcased his class on the global stage when he defeated WBC Muay Thai World Champion Joseph Lasiri in his ONE debut.
A win in Friday’s featured bout will be the greatest of his career and earn him his highest honor.

Marat “Cobra” Gafurov is the only man on this list to have won gold thanks to his grappling skills, and that came about thanks to an incredible run of submissions.

He hit six rear-naked chokes in a row, and his list of victories includes current World Champion Martin “The Situ-Asian” Nguyen, Ev “E.T.” Ting and Narantungalag “Tungaa” Jadambaa.
