The Muay Thai bout started with 'The Elbow Zombie' Muangthai earning two quick knockdowns. One via head kick and another by way of punches. If the Thai-born fighter scored a third takedown, he would have won the entire fight.

Harrison knew it was time to put up or shut up. In his post-fight interview, the English fighter described his thoughts in this moment. He explained:

"If I get hurt in a fight, you won't see me back off. I will stand and I will fight until he goes down or I go down."

The British-born striker 'Hitman' Harrison rallied back and scored three consecutive knockdowns of his own, all via power punches. Thus securing the fight, a world title shot, and a bonus worth $100,000. After the fight, Harrison said in his post-fight interview:

"What did I say? What you see is what you get. And what you get is knockdowns, knockouts, blood, sweat, guts, drama, and excitement. I come here on this stage, and I want to entertain and if that didn't entertain you then nothing will."

Liam Harrison is next scheduled to face Nong-O Gaiyanghadao for the esteemed ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world championship 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.
