Watching this choked me up... Ice been a delinquent my whole life; never really caring about shit. Once I found Muay Thai, I've never worked harder for anything. Sometimes, I want to train and get so upset when I have bad days. I cry in my car after classes... I've nodded off at red lights going into classes after work... I was in a very lean state for a year just to be ready for any fights. I'll have my third fight this month. This is my fifth year of consistent training(not counting the months gyms were closed). I've skipped Holidays, Birthdays, parties, and all sorts of celebrations for Muay Thai. I've never loved or wanted anything more...
I started having fight of muay thai an year ago, after some suicidal attempts. Muay Thai, and therapy, gave me the strength to finally close up the distance in my life, I am finally happy, or at least I am finally really trying to reach that state of mind. And people really do not understand that. I will be having my 11th fight this weekend. It's the first time with no headgear and no shinguard. I'm starting to feel scared, but I really need to give back to this sport all the things this sport gave to me. So I'm with you brother, your story made me feel so emotional, I hope you will get everything you want in life, and be happy
@@leonardodormentoni7336 you're stronger than you know for overcoming such difficulties my friend. Good on you for coming back stronger than ever and best of luck in your upcoming fight. You got this!
How’s the journey going? I just started Muay Thai 3 months ago and it’s taken over my life, it’s all think about and want to do. I’m 16 and looking to have my first fight this winter. Any advice?
"The losses made me realize I´m beatable" ...I wish everybody no matter how successful in their field would at some point get a taste of this. It makes you grow
Lol ....Liam Harrison? Damien Trainer? Rafi Bohic the current Lumpinee champ? Damien almos? Dekkers? JWP? Skarbowsky? . All these are far more accomplished than Haggerty, but you don't respect them? The Thais love these guys so idk what you're talking about. Haggerty is top class too though
@@BigballsTerrence he did say "one of the few" - there are literally tons of westerners fighting in Thailand and the few you mentioned are all well respected over there, you're stating the obvious.
@@BP-vr3rt Really? I've gained a lot of knowledge on calisthenics threw his videos and seen results Thnx to them. N I've never given him a dime. Stop hatin! Every1's on steroids: Nate Diaz
Im thai and ive been watching him for awhile now. When it comes to muay thai we felt some kind of sense of belonging or arrogance toward foreigner in competitions. But to Jonathan? Man proved everyone wrong. Many of us now are very happy for him and even more proud seeing him so dedicated to the sport. I wish nothing but more success for him wherever he goes whatever promo he's in. And to anyone thinking about trying out the sport. Please don't hesitate man go for it! Go to Thailand if you can, live in the camp learn the culture of the sport. You won't regret it i promise you
You have to admire him. Basically a kid and fighting at the highest level! I love the fact, Muay Thai is so pure and untainted from politics and corruption like Boxing. Which I also love, but get sick of sometimes. At least he wanted to fight the best and risk it all. Real heart.
Jon Haggerty is a true gentlemen, a lovely guy, an inspiration and absolute legend. A very moving and fantastic piece on Jon. He’ll get his belt back. So very proud of him. 😘👊😬🥊👍🇬🇧🏆
At least you didn't lose against a mug! You tested yourself against the best in your division, not many would do that. Instead they take easier fights to make some coin, but you're not about that! You're doing it because you love the sport, it's about being the best in the world! You will succeed, and get your belt back!
I have the deepest respect and admiration for "The General". He is currently the best Western Muay Thai practitioner in the world right now. His work ethic and discipline are second to none. First saw him in ONE and I've been following him ever since. Keep it up and best of luck. Minor setbacks, major comebacks! Love it!
Yo perdí mi primera pelea profesional y fue realmente duro. Hoy estoy en el camino hacia allá, volver a pelear, ganar y las palabras del General me motivan, gracias por tan buen documental.
John is the real deal. He has taken the sting out of some of the biggest names that muay thai has ever seen, and done it in their backyard. Haggerty is defying the odds, and he will be spoken about in the history of muay thai for quite a few years to come. Major respect to his tenacity. And major respect to his camp and his coach for keeping him as disciplined as he is. what a Great fighter
Nothing to be ashamed of in his losses to rodtang. Those were the best most skillful fights I’ve seen. Got me into watching Muay Thai! Hard to watch the poor technique in mma after watching master strikers like them. Haggerty will always be one of my favs.
Anyone who truly knows the fight game will tell you, that what makes a legend, isn't how many fights you've won, it's how you came back from defeat. This guy is a warrior. Good luck to him.
Just about to join a martial arts gym to learn BJJ and MUAY THAI, I was looking at beginner Muay Thai techniques when I discovered Jonathan Haggerty videos, instantly became a fan.
Love you, John and believe in you. You’re amazing. I started doing Muay Thai because of how beautiful your style is and how technical you’ve showed us Muay Thai can be.
Many other styles are trying to be like Muay thai, training like Muay thai, using Muay thai techniques and such but one thing they all miss, the spirit of Muay thai. Muay thai is a old martial art throughout years of bloodshed, its' become a core culture of many Thai people.
How Jonathan Haggerty never gets even a mention in BBC sportsman of the year is quite beyond me. He is at the top of his game in one of the toughest sports in the world.
Respect to you Jon Haggerty. you're one of my favorite muay thai fighters because you have a muay thai champion mindset of challenging everyone. no dodging opponents.
Meyer was no match for Haggerty. Completely outclassed. I imagine after you've faced down Rodtang not once, but twice, most other opponents seem like easy mode.
I wish u all the best on your Journey. I love what u are doing ♥️ Stay focused, and don’t forget to set your Live Stones already that your live is fulfilled after your Career.
All the very best Jon, more world 🌎 titles coming, always enjoyed training at your family's gym, very friendly, welcoming people, hard quality training leave smiling !
What a champion Haggerty is, from skills 2 his iron mind set 2 is humble personality. He has it all and will go down in history as one of the best to ever do it . . . . I've been routing for him and will continue to do so till the day he retires . . . Let's go Champ 🌟🔥🙏
The General reminds me much of myself. I hope to reach his ranks. Life as a fighter is very unforgiving, brutal, hard to calculate, we merely emulate scenarios thousands and thousands of different ways and sometimes the same thing in those same numbers hoping to sharpen our bodies and minds better than those opponents were up against. Many of us are constantly in search of the best opportunity to make it in this world. For me; I don’t remember how I got here , I just ended up obsessed and doing it over and over, seeking the same high with new coaches and gym partners, but it always brings me the joy I remembered it as. God willing I make it up there to share my story.
The dear person that's reading this, we don't know each other but I wish you all the best in life❤ don't ever blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Your smile is precious and a key to a happy life...
Minor setbacks major comebacks👏 love it Interesting to see how he does in MMA because he will have to change major parts of his style but its possible if he understands the threats
and now, 1 year later, he just beat nong-o, one of the best ever , to claim the belt again. what an inspiration, perfect example of what dedication, hard work, and self believing can do.
I love watching this kid fight. He's a savage. No shame in the losses to Rodtang. (Also a Savage) Respect for even getting in ring with the guys he's fought.
If you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true. Sending love to all ❤❤❤

As a Thai, Jonathan is one of the few westerner that truly earned our respect in this brutal sport. He has the Thai วิญญาณ...
Anyone that trains hard,makes weight and steps into the ring to challenge himself deserves respect

@@BigballsTerrence You forgot the Muay thai machine Youssef Boughanem,he's Moroccan,but the Thai's are legit terrified of him
He will give all the above a good fight

Moved up in weight and smashed the champ! That Nong-O destruction was a thing of beauty! Big respect General

In muaythai theres a lot of corruption here in Thailand. Poisoning of water, corrupt judges who get paid by the other team. I seen it all
It is plagued by the same issues in Thailand. But I understand what you mean.
Thai boxing is pretty corrupt my friend . Not everywhere but it isn’t untainted , lol
ONE championship kind bother those old corrupted group and they still angry over the loss of viewer to this day.
We couldn’t be more proud of you boy 👊🏻
It’s in the DNA John 👌🏾

What a humble, introspective guy. What an antidote to the McGregor's of this world.
1,000%!
“McGregors”
McGregor is in the UFC, the Americans NEED drama and kids' entertainment to turn into these fights
Thais get Saenchai and his lovely dancing instead 😊 I prefer it

Fighting very different battles, to Jonathan. But watching him and listening, to his life philosophies, keeps me battling on.
Great documentary one of my current favourite UK fighters Jonathan Haggerty is exciting to watch and win or lose he always delivers top man!
“Minor setback, major comebacks” thx for your wisdom JH General.
Big respect to the mulligan brothers. Awesome music choice. Lovely 15min video.

Every young Thai boxer should watch this inspiration of a young man.
Love you, John and believe in you. You’re amazing. I started doing Muay Thai because of how beautiful your style is and how technical you’ve showed us Muay Thai can be.
What a fantastically technical fighter Jonathan is! The best in the UK at the moment by far in my opinion.
I like how he speaks about fear ....he doesn't deny it he embrace it❤
The way Jonathan fights is like he puts everything he has into every single punch and kick he makes. Hugely Ferocious
Love his style..... man is a beast!!!! best of luck legend!!!!!!

ไช่เห็นด้วยครับ❤❤❤
One of the best videos you'll ever see. This guy surprised me. His heart and his mind are as strong as his ability to fight. The 3 are 1.
Thank you Mulligan brothers for interviewing Johnathan Haggerty, a UK Muay Thai inspiration 🙏
Not only is he dedicated, his coach is very dedicated and such a good asset to have
Respect to you Jon Haggerty. you're one of my favorite muay thai fighters because you have a muay thai champion mindset of challenging everyone. no dodging opponents.
THANK YOU JONO 💯 pushes me everyday even on the a bad day 🤟 thank you Jonathan.
JH is the only westerner fighters i pay attention to because he fight like a thai, it was satisfying to watch. thanks JH.
Minor setbacks, major comebacks! Such a huge inspiration, man, thanks for sharing this stuff. Love watching your fights, cheers man!
Crazy, he predicted exactly how the fight was going to go, KO round 2, great documentary
Meyer was no match for Haggerty. Completely outclassed. I imagine after you've faced down Rodtang not once, but twice, most other opponents seem like easy mode.
Didn't expect him to be like that. He's sooo well raised, a man of a truly rare quality.
Its an early discipline thing.
To be able to stand toes to toes with thai fighter legends this guy is legend himself. Much respect and motivation.
Love watching Jons fights, the pure power and determination is amazing, well done mate. Keep up the good work.
What a lad he so humble and I hope he brings that beautiful belt bk to the Uk well done jhon 🏴
I'm Thai and I really like Haggerty. He is my favorite foreign Muay Thai fighter.

Got the Heart thr dedication i need to get back in the gym been way to long im so unfit gives me inspiration 🙏
This person is the best master of Thai boxing skills.
I’ve watched this a few times now. Still find it immensely inspiring.

8:55 Respect for talking about his fear like that.
old Kyokushin guy. Haggerty has my respect.

So humble, what a man...keep goin
Well 2 years later, he was right. 2 sport world champ :)
Funny because i live in Lamai and i see him and Freddie training, they are dedicated.
Respect from thailand, you are the Muay thai fighter
Huge respect. Gr8 fight against Rodtang. Brilliant fighter, true sporsmanship
The general is right!!! Such a amazing fighter
Incredible dedication to the art of combat. Can't wait to see him beat Rodtang then smash it in MMA
Michael Bisping is the example to keep growing and never stop believing in yourself.
Champion mindset.. Minor setbacks major comebacks 💪
True champion you bring dignity to the sport great role model splendid behavior young man
Believe and you will achieve 👊🏼👊🏼👍🏼

Much respect for what you do
