British Muay Thai icon Liam Harrison gave it his all in his catchweight (140 pounds) Muay Thai bout with fellow legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang at ONE 168: Denver last Friday, Sept. 6, but it was just not enough. After succumbing to a second-round TKO finish due to the three-knockdown rule at the hands of 'The Man Who Yields To No One,' Harrison quietly left his gloves in the middle of the cage at the Ball Arena.
Taking to Instagram, ONE Championship shared a graphic featuring 'Hitman' with the accompanying caption:
""Hitman," you're a legend 🙏 Thank you for an incredible Muay Thai career 🥊 @liambadco"

Since joining the world's largest martial arts promotion in December 2018, Harrison has given fans plenty of memorable moments inside the circle.
The Bad Company product's come-from-behind TKO victory over Muangthai PK Saenchai in April 2022 at ONE 156 will remain one of the most iconic one-round fights in the promotion's history.
Harrison's illustrious career comes to an end with 90 wins (44 finishes), 26 losses, and two draws.
Liam Harrison fulfills his dream of fighting Seksan
Lauded as two of the greatest Muay Thai stars of their generation, Liam Harrison waited years for his chance to trade leather with Seksan, and they certainly did not disappoint at ONE 168: Denver.
In an action-packed first round, both Harrison and Seksan respected each others' power as they cautiously exchanged blows. Despite getting dropped with a short right hand by Seksan in the opening minute of the second round, Harrison continued fighting until the Thai legend's power became too much to overcome, leading up to the TKO.
