Shortly after becoming a newly-crowned two-sport world champion, Jonathan Haggerty is already looking forward to the next challenge.

Haggerty (20-4), ONE Championship’s reigning bantamweight muay thai champion, took on reigning mixed martial arts champion Fabricio Andrade (29-1) in a meeting for the vacant bantamweight kickboxing title at ONE on Prime Video 16 on Friday.

While many expected a competitive bout, “The General” managed to dismantle his Brazilian adversary via knockout in the second frame at the 1:57 mark. Haggerty's speed and precision proved too much for “Wonder Boy” to handle. It was a clean head kick that landed on Andrade a minute into Round 2 that began the finishing sequence for the Brit. Ultimately, he managed to knock down the MMA champion with punches and earn himself the rare honor of being crowned a two-sport world champion.

“The General” isn't done chasing gold, either.

“Fabricio, I want your MMA belt,” he announced during his post-fight interview. “You know, you said you wanted my muay thai belt, I'm one new up. I'm coming for your MMA belt.”

During the broadcast, ONE Championship shared a video of “The General” and grappling champ Tye Ruotolo discussing the possibility of training together as they both begin transitions to MMA.
