'Hitman' said:
"I’m not going to come in there and think, ‘Oh, it’s my first fight back. I’d better take this easy and just try to steal a win.’ People don’t pay their money to watch Liam Harrison fight for that to happen."

Liam Harrison isn't taking Katsuki Kitano for granted: "I know he is going to be dangerous"
'Hitman' Liam Harrison is ready to make his return to the Circle, but he isn't going in there thinking he's just going to walk all over Katsuki Kitano. The 38-year-old veteran is much too wise for that and realizes his Japanese foe is a legitimate threat.
'Hitman' told ONE Championship:
“I know [Kitano] is going to be dangerous, and I know he’s going to want to make a name for himself off of my back."
