ONE 168 is set for Denver on September 6th. Two title fights have been confirmed for the card which will take place at the 18,000 capacity Ball Arena.
Jonathan Haggerty will be defending his bantamweight Muay Thai title against Superlek Kiatmoo9 in a rematch. The two first met in 2018 and the Thai won by second round stoppage.
Haggerty also holds the bantamweight kickboxing belt and has teased the possibility of challenging for the MMA title. He already holds wins over top Thai fighters Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Nong-O Gaiyanghadao.
Superlek is the reigning flyweight kickboxing champion. He is coming off a decision win over Takeru at ONE 165 and will be moving up a division to challenge Haggerty.
AND STILL 👑 Superlek retains the ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title in a thriller against Takeru!

Moving up
Also moving up a division on September 6th will be Stamp Fairtex. She is challenging Xiong Jing Nan for her atomweight title in a fight that will headline the card.
Stamp (11-2) will also be in action at ONE 167 in June. She is defending her atomweight title against former teammate Denice Zamboanga in the main event of that show in Bangkok.
Regardless of the result Stamp is set to move up in weight to challenge for the strawweight title. Xiong (18-2) has held that belt since 2018 and is the only fighter to ever wear it.
