British Muay Thai legend and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom says he made the wrong decision to face such a risky opponent in Thai icon 'The Man Who Yields To No One' Seksan Or Kwanmuang.
This is especially so, given that Harrison was coming off more than two years sitting on the sidelines while dealing with an almost career-ending knee injury.
'Hitman' says that looking back on that fight, he now realizes it was a mistake.

The Bad Company representative told ONE Championship in a recent interview:
"Looking back, it was stupid of me to come back and think I could step in with someone at that level, who is that dangerous and fights the way he does, without any ring time after one of the worst injuries anybody can have. It wasn’t smart on my part."
Harrison dropped a second-round technical knockout loss to Seksan at ONE 168: Denver last September at Colorado's famous Ball Arena. After which, 'Hitman' laid his gloves down on the canvas in the middle of the Circle to signal his retirement from Muay Thai competition.
However, the United Kingdom man recently came out to say that he had accepted another fight under the ONE Championship banner, making his retirement short-lived.
