Speaking to ONE Championship, Jonathan Haggerty explained why he believes his brother has what it takes to rise to the top of his division:
“Growing up, Freddie has always watched me on the big stage. He’s been there. He’s been to the fights. He’s been to the events. He’s been in the changing room with me. He’s been in training sessions with me. So he knows what it takes. It’s exciting to see, and I can’t wait for his future.”
In the history of combat sports, we've seen countless siblings excel to the highest level together and win world championships. You got the Kitschkos in boxing and the Diaz brothers in MMA. ONE currently has the Ruotolo brothers ruling their submission grappling ranks while Angela and Christian Lee dominated their MMA divisions for years.
We don't see any reason why Freddie and Jonathan Haggerty won't see themselves wearing gold side by side at some point in the future.
