Bengaluru, January 24: The fight card of ONE: Bad Blood on February 11 just got better with the addition of two ranked contenders and a former world title challenger.

Former ONE Flyweight Muay Thai World Champion Jonathan Haggerty will return to the Circle against #4-ranked Mongkolpetch Petchyindee Academy at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The current #2-ranked contender "The General" is coming off a unanimous decision victory against Taiki "Silent Sniper" Naito at ONE: Big Bang II in December 2020.

Haggerty also defeated French striker Arthur Meyer via a second-round knockout in another promotion last year.

The 24-year-old British sensation from Knowlesly Academy hopes to start a winning streak at ONE. However, that's easier said than done because his opponent is no pushover.

Mongkolpetch has a 115-40 career Muay Thai record and hasn't experienced defeat in his three-year run in ONE Super Series.

The 26-year-old Thai sensation is coming off a split decision victory over Elias "The Sniper" Mahmoudi at ONE: Full Blast II last June.

Before that win, the Lumpinee Stadium Muay Thai Champion scored unanimous decision triumphs against Sok Thy, Joseph "The Hurricane" Lasiri, and Alexi "Phet" Serepisos.

Also competing at ONE: Bad Blood is #2-ranked strawweight contender Yosuke Saruta, who will be facing Gustavo "El Gladiador" Balart.

"The Ninja" Saruta hopes to bounce back from his setback against ONE Strawweight World Champion Joshua "The Passion" Pacio at ONE: Revolution.

Meanwhile, the Cuban competitor is coming off a win over Ryuto Sawada last July.

Former ONE Welterweight World Title challenger Ken Hasegawa will also be facing Murad Ramazanov, who is on a three-fight win streak inside the Circle.
