Superlek Kiatmoo9 expects Liam Harrison and Seksan Or Kwanmuang to showcase an entertaining war at ONE 168: Denver.

On Friday, Sept. 6, ONE Championship will return to North America for a stacked event inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. The main event features two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty defending his bantamweight Muay Thai strap against ONE flyweight kickboxing king Superlek.

Earlier in the night, Liam Harrison makes his highly anticipated return after a two-year layoff. The hard-hitting UK superstar called for a legacy matchup against Muay Thai great Seksan and the promotion granted his request.

During an interview with the South China Morning Post, ONE 168 headliner Superlek had this to say about Harrison vs. Seksan:

"I think this fight would be a very entertaining one because both of them have similar styles. They would instantly walk up to each other and trade punches and kicks and everything. So I think it would be very entertaining."

Heading into ONE 168, Seksan is coming off his first promotional loss, which he suffered against Yutaro Asahi in April. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' now looks to bounce back by taking out fellow Muay Thai legend Liam Harrison.
