“Today was the day” - British legend Liam Harrison takes a break from training, shares striking wisdom with wrestling icon Bill Goldberg

Liam Harrison is putting on the finishing touches to his game plan for ONE 168: Denver, but he took a bit of time off to link up with one of the most influential professional wrestlers of all time.

The British Muay Thai and kickboxing legend met up with WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg in Denver and shared some of his striking arsenal with the multi-time WWE and WCW world champion.

Harrison wrote on Instagram that he and Goldberg struck up a friendship almost a decade ago and this week marked only the second time they had met.

He posted:

"Today was a special and cool day... I first met with @goldberg95 around nine years ago when I fought Malaipet in LA, and since then we've stayed in touch on social media and spoke about doing some work together one day."

Liam Harrison added:

"Today was the day. Such a cool, humble, down-to-earth guy and a childhood hero of mine and @badgers_fight_bible and how we call that hero a friend... and after a few tweaks today he now also has a left hook that can put down a rhino 🤣... blessed 👊 #muaythai #goldberg #onechampionship."

For a certain age demographic, the friendship between Goldberg and Liam Harrison is the stuff of 90s and 2000s pop culture magic.

Harrison started his professional career in 1999, amassed 90 career wins, and captured multiple world titles in Muay Thai and kickboxing.

Goldberg, meanwhile, was one of the best homegrown talents of WCW and captured the promotion's Tag Team, United States, and World Heavyweight titles.

The former Atlanta Falcon then had several stints in the WWE where he won the WWE World Heavyweight and Universal titles.
