Fairtex vs. Xiong, Haggerty vs. Kiatmoo9 Top Card for ONE Event in Denver

ONE Championship has announced the two featured bouts for its return to the United States.

Stamp Fairtex will challenge Jingnan Xiong for the strawweight (125-pound) title in an MMA bout, while Jonathan Haggerty will defend his ONE bantamweight (145-pound) muay thai belt against ONE flyweight kickboxing champ Superlek Kiatmoo9.

ONE on Prime Video 26 will take place on Sept. 6 at Ball Arena in Denver and will air on Prime Video in the United States. The Singapore-based promotion made its stateside debut last May with ONE on Prime Video 10, which was headlined by a trilogy bout between Demetrious Johnson and Adriano Moraes.

Fairtex, a three-sport champion under the ONE banner, is already scheduled to defend her atomweight (115-pound) MMA title against Denice Zamboanga at One Championship 166 in Thailand on June 7. The 26-year-old has been victorious in six of her last seven MMA bouts in ONE competition.

Xiong, the reigning 125-pound queen, is coming off four consecutive decision victories in five-round fights. Most recently, the Beijing, China, native took a unanimous verdict over Angela Lee at ONE on Prime Video 2 in September 2022.

Hailing from Orpington, England, Haggerty owns a 21-4 record in kickboxing and muay thai. He captured the 145-pound muay thai belt with a first-round TKO of Nong-O Hama in April 2023. He also recently knocked out Fabricio Andrade to claim the vacant 145-pound kickboxing crown.

Known as “The Kicking Machine,” Kiatmoo9 boasts a 137-29 career mark. Regarded as one of the top strikers in the world, Kiatmoo9 claimed multiple world titles while fighting in Thailand well before he signed with ONE in 2019. He captured ONE’s vacant 125-pound kickboxing belt with a decision win over Daniel Puertas in January 2023.
