Liam Harrison says wife wants old-school 'Hitman' back: "Why the f*** don't you fight like you used to fight?"

British Muay Thai legend Liam Harrison has built his reputation on edge-of-your-seat firefights, but according to the Bad Company fighter, at least one person close to him wishes he'd return to a more technical approach that helped him during the initial days of his career.

The South China Morning Post caught up with the three-time Muay Thai world champion recently, and while talking about his ultra-aggressive ways during the interview, the 39-year-old touched on how his missus, Kate, prefers him to wind down on his style.

"My missus goes mental on me all the time, she always says 'Why the f*** don't you fight like you used to fight when you were younger? You were so technical and no one could beat you when you fight like that," Liam Harrison revealed. "And I'm like, no one wants to see that, you know what I mean?"

Perhaps things could have turned out differently for the striking wizard if he had taken another approach.

But truth be told, his trademark aggression has led to several highlight-reel knockouts and earned him multiple world championships in some of the biggest stadiums associated with the history of "The Art of Eight Limbs."
