Nong-O Gaiyanghadao says ONE 161 fight with Liam Harrison will end with a knockout

ONE’s reigning bantamweight Muay Thai champion has yet to taste defeat in the circle. He has won eight straight, with his last three coming via knockout. Going against a high-octane fighter like Liam Harrison, there is a high probability that the fight will end inside the distance.

Speaking to ONE Championship, Nong-O believes that his fight with Harrison will end in a knockout. It all comes down to who lands first.

"For our world title fight, I believe that both of us will go all out. And I am sure that it will end with a knockout — either for him or me. It depends on whose weapons will hit the target first. He has heavy punches and kicks. I have them, too. Let's see who will do better."

Speaking to ‘Hitman’ directly, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao sent a warning to his latest challenger:

"Liam, I will go all out in our upcoming fight. You should prepare yourself well, because I'm about to knock you out, for sure."
