British Muay Thai icon and former bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger Liam Harrison is one of the most recognized competitors of 'the art of eight limbs' in the history of the discipline. However, he's a guy from Leeds.

Over the years, Muay Thai has gained international popularity, as we see more and more Muay Thai fighters outside of Thailand. Harrison said that his gym, Bad Company, is the best Muay Thai gym outside of Thailand.

"Bad Company gym for sure. It's the best gym. We've got everything you need in under one roof."

Led by 'Hitman' himself, Bad Company has produced some of the United Kingdom's best Muay Thai fighters, including multi-time world champions Jordan Watson, Lisa Houghton-Smith, Andy Howson, and Richard Cadden.

Needless to say, Bad Company is one of the world's best places to learn 'the art of eight limbs,' and Harrison is living proof of it as the 39-year-old represents his gym in the world's largest martial arts organization of ONE Championship.
