Both men have impeccable records and their fighting skills are out of the world. Haggerty (21-4-0) and Andrade (20-3-0) both have their fair share of wins and losses but it would be a colossal fight to watch.
Currently, Haggerty is on a 5-fight win streak and he looks to increase his winning streak and add a new sport world championship around his waist. Haggarty is coming off an excellent 1st round knockout win in his last match against Nong-O Gaiyanghadao. They fought at ONE Fight Night 9.
Jonathan Haggerty’s nickname and the meaning of it
Jonathan Haggerty has the nickname ‘The General.’ Many fans have been asking this question Why is he called “The General”, how did he come up with this name?
So, we at Sportsmanor during a conversation with Haggerty asked him how he came up with his Nickname and what it means, The General happily answered, “I put it as a Facebook name, years and years ago once upon a time. And One ring announcer saw it and started to announce me as “The General” and as it went on I kept it there and I started knocking people out.”
Calling Haggerty “The General” suits him as like a General he has a command over the octagon. The moment he enters it is like he is controlling his fights and his opponents.

With this conversation, one thing got cleared, Jonathan Haggerty made up his name on a whim, but, he totally justifies his nickname “The General”. Also, the ring announcer who first called him “The General” saw his potential as a General.
Now, it would be interesting to see whether Haggerty will be able to conquer Fabricio Andrade at ONE Fight Night 16 to win the ONE vacant bantamweight kickboxing championship, but it will be a fight to watch out for. Haggerty has been training hard for it.
Haggarty is en route to making history as he is aiming to become a two-sport champion. His opponent is also, good and has a good record, but he ain’t “The General”.
