ONE Championship's Liam Harrison is more than just a brawler. The seemingly wild and chaotic Muay Nuok (aggressor) is actually a highly technical and cerebral fighter. The classes that he frequently posts on his Instagram are testament to this.
In a recent video Harrison posted to Instagram, he demonstrated how to successfully free one's leg once it gets caught by an opponent. He also showed how to do it in a way that allows fighters to push off their foe, allowing for safer distance management.
The subtle shrug of the hips, which pushes the opponent off the leg, is quite hard to catch at first glance. It's definitely something that needs to be drilled multiple times to get right in a real fight.

Liam Harrison had his technique down pat, as he showed in the video when, marvelously, he pulled off the kick-catch counter with ease.
Fighters best start drilling this technique now, lest their kicks get caught in more than just a sparring practice.
