During an interview with the South China Morning Post, ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek had this to say about the legend vs. legend matchup:

"I think there will be a chance that it won't go for three rounds. That's my prediction, but I'm not sure who will get knocked out."

Heading into ONE 168, Harrison is coming off a two-year layoff due to a knee injury suffered against Nong-O.

The Muay Thai legend overcame the setbacks to book his return matchup and received his request to fight Seksan.

Meanwhile, Seksan's last fight was a unanimous decision loss against Yutaro Asahi in April. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' plans to bounce back against Harrison at ONE 168 and extend his promotional record to 9-1.

Superlek also has business to take care of at ONE 168

Liam Harrison vs Seksan is a precursor to one of the most highly-anticipated matchups of the year.

In the ONE 168 main event, kickboxing flyweight world champion Superlek looks to become a two-sport king by defeating Jonathan Haggerty for his bantamweight Muay Thai world title.

Haggerty and Superlek are riding momentum after legendary three-fight runs. 'The General' defeated Nong-O (Muay Thai), Fabricio Andrade (kickboxing), and Felipe Lobo (Muay Thai). Meanwhile, 'The Kicking Machine' took out Rodtang (Muay Thai), Takeru Segawa (kickboxing), and Kongthoranee (Muay Thai).

The ONE 168 main event features high stakes between two promotional greats. It'll be intriguing to see who emerges victorious in the bantamweight Muay Thai matchup and leaves North America as a two-sport world champion.

Tickets for ONE 168: Denver inside the Ball Arena can be found on Ticketmaster.
