Liam Harrison is ready to shock Nong-O Gaiyanghadao and the world at ONE 161

Liam Harrison has established himself as one of the most entertaining Muay Thai fighters under the ONE banner. Aggressive, powerful, and determinated are just a few words to describe the ‘Hitman’ and his highly entertaining style of combat.

Following an epic comeback against Muangthai PK. Saenchai at ONE 156 in April, Harrison scored a $100,000 bonus and a world title opportunity against the long-reigning bantamweight king. Discussing the upcoming showdown with ONE Championship, Harrison recognizes the skills that the champ possesses:

"I know what level of skill this man is on. I'm not an idiot. He's one of the most skillful fighters [of all time]. But I'm not going to change my style now just because I'm coming across one of the best fighters of all time."

Harrison went on to say that if he connects cleanly on Nong-O, it will be lights out for the undefeated Thai fighter:

"If anyone could knock him out, it's me. Nobody he has fought with punches as I do. If I land clean, then anyone in four-ounce gloves will go."
