Legendary Muay Thai fighters Seksan Or Kwanmuang and Liam Harrison crossed paths for the first time in their careers in a catchweight (140 pounds) Muay Thai bout at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 inside the Ball Arena.
Unlike how he would usually fight, 'Hitman' focused on slowing down the Thai great by employing a leg kick-heavy offense and followed it up with quick strikes to the body.
'The Man Who Yields To No One' noticed this change in Harrison's approach and took it upon himself to push the action to overwhelm the United Kingdom icon.

This strategy worked mightily in favor of Seksan as he eventually dropped the Bad Company product thrice in the second round to invoke the three-knockdown rule and emerge with the TKO victory.
Seksan's superb performance against Harrison marked his ninth triumph under the ONE banner.
Meanwhile, Harrison, the multi-time Muay Thai world champion, signaled his retirement by quietly leaving his gloves inside the circle and confirmed it in the post-event press conference.
Seksan headed for ONE 170 showdown with Burmese knockout artist
Seksan will feature in a catchweight (142 pounds) Muay Thai barnburner with Burmese standout Soe Lin Oo at ONE 170 on Jan. 24, 2025, inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
'Man of Steel' took the world's largest martial arts promotion by storm in 2024 when he posted three straight finishes in as many fights before suffering an upset defeat to Nabil Anane this past September at ONE Friday Fights 81.
With Seksan and Soe Lin Oo's penchant for knockouts, their upcoming clash could end with either fighter on the wrong end of a highlight-reel finish.
