In the aforementioned footage, Harrison exhibited a striking sequence that is perfectly effective when an opponent raises both arms to block a powerful body kick. While this defense protects the torso, it ofen leaves the head vulnerable to a counterattack.

The Englishman's approach takes advantage of this opening. By forcing a counterpart into an awkward position while defending a body kick, it creates an opportunity to strike with a heavy punch, capitalizing on the moment to deliver a significant damage.

Liam Harrison is in for a tough assignment at ONE 173
