Liam Harrison’s comeback win against Muangthai proof that he can survive Nong-O’s power?

When British striker Liam Harrison faced Muangthai PK.Saenchai earlier this year, he was knocked down twice in quick succession. But 'The Hitman' showed true toughness and grit as he fought back against his foe.

ONE Championship shared a clip from this incredibly exciting bout on Instagram. It celebrates one of the greatest comebacks in combat sports history.

"What a COMEBACK 😱 Can "Hitman" dethrone Nong-O Gaiyanghadao at ONE on Prime Video 1 on August 26?"

After being knocked down twice in the first round, the 36-year-old British fighter mustered his strength and fought back. He then bit down on his mouthpiece and went to war. He scored three consecutive knockdowns against the Thai opponent which secured the victory. The two fighters exchanged five knockdowns in a single round.

ONE Championship commentator Michael Schiavello said:

"That may have been the WILDEST Muay Thai fight in history!!!! 5 knockdowns in one round. I have seen it all... I have seen it all."

This fight was so exciting that it earned Harrison performance bonuses totaling $100,000. Additionally, he was awarded a title shot against the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao.

The two veteran Muay Thai strikers will face off at ONE on Prime Video 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II, which broadcasts live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium and airs on US Primetime via Amazon Prime Video on August 26.
