British legend Liam Harrison throws Muangthai PK Saenchai’s name to the mix as Seksan’s possible ONE 170 opponent

ONE Championship is currently on the lookout for a replacement opponent for veteran Thai fighter Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 170 in January after original foe Soe Lin Oo of Myanmar withdrew because of injuries. British legend Liam Harrison immediately made his thoughts known, suggesting the name of Muangthai PK Saenchai as a new opponent.

'The Man Who Yields To No One' was originally penciled in to take on Soe Lin Oo in a catchweight (142 lbs) Muay Thai clash, part of the stacked ONE 170 set to take place on Jan. 24 at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The contest was shelved, with the Burmese fighter out because of the injuries he sustained in a car accident.

The unfortunate turn of events moved ONE to look for a new opponent for Seksan, taking to Instagram to ask fans who they want to see the Thai legend go up against.

Fans immediately shared their suggestions in the comments section, including one from Englishman Harrison, who threw the name of Thai star Muangthai in the conversation, believing he should give Seksan a solid fight.

Possible new opponent

Muangthai was last in action in October, where he knocked out Kongsuk Fairtex in the third round of their catchweight (137 lbs) Muay Thai showdown.

ONE 170 will be aired live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.

Seksan enters ONE 170 off victory over Liam Harrison

The planned return to action of Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 170 on Jan. 24 comes on the heels of his second-round TKO of Liam Harrison back in September.

The two met at ONE 168: Denver in what was Harrison's first fight back after two years of recovering from a knee injury. 'Hitman' tried his best to keep in step with 'The Man Who Yields To No One' but had his struggles, knocked down three times in the second round which all ended for him.

The defeat moved Harrison to ponder retirement, eyeing one last match in England to say his farewell to the fans back home before riding into the sunset.

The win, meanwhile, saw Seksan bounce back after absorbing his first defeat in ONE Championship in his previous match.
