Thai megastar "The Kicking Machine" Superlek Kiatmoo9 stunned Jonathan "The General" Haggerty to become a two-sport, two-weight ONE World Champion at ONE 168: Denver this weekend in Colorado, United States.

In the September 7 headliner, "The Kicking Machine" uncorked a perfectly timed elbow to leave Haggerty flat on his back just 49 seconds into the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title contest.

Superlek's eleventh-straight victory came after Haggerty came out firing at Ball Arena. But his aggression ultimately worked against him as Superlek caught him on the way in with the fight-ending elbow, and the Brit unable to answer the referee's count.

Superlek took home a USD50,000 performance bonus from ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong for the stunning finish in Denver, while also adding the bantamweight Muay Thai strap to his ONE Flyweight Kickboxing World Title.

In the co-main event, Seksan Or Kwanmuang sent British legend Liam Harrison down with a stunning second-round TKO in a wild brawl that delivered on its pre-fight billing.

Harrison landed leg kicks in the opening exchanges before Seksan sprang to life in the second round. A clubbing right hand sent Harrison to the canvas, and although he tried to fight his way out of trouble, Seksan closed the show with two more knockdowns.

"The Man Who Yields To No One" also took home a performance bonus for his efforts, as he netted his ninth win from 10 appearances under the ONE Championship banner. Here is a look at the final results of ONE 168:
