British striker Liam Harrison has been competing in ONE Championship for over half a decade now and had been part of a number of engaging matches. But undeniably the most exciting among them was that against Muangthai PK Saenchai, which saw him come back to score an impressive KO win in the opening round.
'Hitman' battled Muangthai in April 2022 at ONE 156 in Singapore in what turned out to be an epic two minutes and 19 seconds of non-stop action, marked by five impressive knockdowns between them.
ONE Championship posted a video highlight of Harrison's TKO win over Muangthai on its official Instagram page for fans to relive ahead of his scheduled return to action in September.

Liam Harrison was dropped by Muangthai twice in the early goings of the contest. But instead of folding up altogether, the Bad Company standout dug deep and clawed his way back in the match.
He first landed a solid combination to send the Thai fighter to the canvas. Harrison continued to press on 'Elbow Zombie,' unleashing a barrage of punches and connected on a hook-uppercut-hook combo to send Muangthai down for the second time.
Sensing he had his opponent on the ropes, Liam Harrison pummeled his opponent with more telling punches to send Muangthai for the third and final time and complete the come-from-behind win.
It was his second straight KO win after his opening-round knockout victory over Mohammed Bin Mahmoud in January 2020.
