In the co-main event, former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Jonathan Haggerty overcame a spirited effort from Lumpinee Stadium Champion Mongkolpetch Petchyindee to score a unanimous decision victory. Second-ranked Haggerty came out firing in the first round, forcing #4-ranked Mongkolpetch to the back foot with lightning-quick combinations. Mongkolpetch hurt the Englishman in the second round when he launched a furious offensive, landing a variety of strikes. In the middle of the third round, Haggerty connected with his razor-like right elbow, creating some damage over his Thai opponent’s left eye. He then put the pressure on Mongkolpetch until the final bell, earning the pivotal win and a US$50,000 performance bonus.
