More than a year ago, Liam Harrison was told he wouldn't be able to fight Muay Thai again after destroying every ligament, muscle, tendon, and menisci in his knee. However, now he's getting ready to fight again in Denver at ONE 168.
The 38-year-old superstar recalled the conversation he had with his surgeon last year, suggesting he should quit Muay Thai altogether. But the 'Hitman' would have none of that. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he worked day in and day out to ease his way back inside the gym and train for a future comeback.
On Instagram, he said:
"ACL tear, basically everything that can go wrong in your knee, went wrong. The surgeon said, 'You're not gonna be able to come back. As strong as you are, you're older now, you've got a great career, I think you should retire.' And I was like, 'Yeah, **** you.'"

Harrison continued:
"I'm not taking orders from anyone. I'm going out on my own terms. I am just as fast, just as sharp, if not sharper and I'm gonna prove that I'm just as ferocious or if not more than I was before."
ONE Championship re-released Harrison's message to the fans on their Instagram page with a caption that had all the fans talking and cheering. The caption read:
"Hitman's" calling the shots. How will Liam Harrison's Muay Thai collision with Seksan end on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver?"

Liam Harrison hopes to realize his dream fight against fellow legendary opponent, Seksan at ONE 168: Denver
UK superstar Liam Harrison hopes that there isn't any impediment going into his fight with legendary dance partner, Seksan Or Kwanmuang, from now until Sept. 6.
Harrison revealed on a podcast this week, that before he retires, he would like to fight another international legend in Seksan. The 35-year-old veteran made a name for himself as a former Rajadamnern Stadium and WBC Muay Thai world champion before joining ONE. He also fights every match like it were his last, which Harrison completely respects.
Appearing on the podcast, the 'Hitman' said:
"He's been one my favorite fighters for years. If you put me and him together, I think we could really produce some absolute carnage."
Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are available via Ticketmaster.
