On Friday, Dec. 11, ONE Championship again touched down in its home base of the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore for ONE Championship: Big Bang II.
In the night’s headliner, 24-year-old Japanese sensation Taiki Naito clashed with former champion Jonathan Haggerty. Since transitioning to the Thai ruleset, Naito had yet to taste defeat. That changed today. England’s Haggerty snapped a two-fight skid against Rodtang Jitmuangnon, who took his title and beat him again in the pair’s rematch, with a dominant showing. Haggerty scored two knockdowns of Naito en route to the decision nod.
The card also featured former GLORY welterweight king Nieky Holzken, who crumbled Elliot Compton with a punch to the liver, as well as hard-hitting heavyweight Errol Zimmerman, who suffered a defeat via TKO due to a spinning heel kick delivered by Rade Opačić.
The event streamed on the ONE app and ONE’s YouTube channel at 7:30 a.m. ET. American fight fans could find the broadcast on the B/R Live streaming platform. The full results can be found below.
