Felipe Lobo has shown heart and power since arriving in ONE Championship. The “Demolition Man” will now have a chance to show his championship mettle on Friday, February 16, in Bangkok. The Brazilian will challenge Jonathan Haggerty for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship in the ONE Fight Night 19 main event.
The collision course for the match was set last April. Lobo defeated Saemapetch Fairtex by knockout to position himself as a top contender and called for his title shot. The champion also took notice, according to Lobo.
