The bantamweight Muay Thai fight between Liam Harrison and Muangthai PK Saenchai at ONE 156 in April 2022 was hailed by ONE Championship as the 2022 Muay Thai fight of the year.

This incredible back-and-forth clash between Harrison and Muangthai was looked back on by ONE Championship in a recent Instagram post, which was captioned:

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch 🙅 Will Liam Harrison overcome Seksan in his comeback fight at ONE 168: Denver? @liambadco"

During the fight, 'The Hitman' suffered two early knockdowns from Muangthai, but just when the Thai star was about to finish the fight with a third knockdown, Harrison fought back and scored two of his own.

The British combat sports star officially ended the fight with a powerful combination that dropped Muangthai to the mat for the third time 2:19 into the opening round, netting him his second victory in the promotion.

This incredible display of grit and heart by the 38-year-old veteran out of Leeds, England, garnered positive messages from fans, especially users @lakhsingofficial, @steventunnicliffe81, @bcfmartialarts, @joc.ksy, and @makason13, who commented:
