Liam Harrison scores $100,000 bonus and a title shot with epic comeback at ONE 156

Stepping into the ONE circle with Muay Thai legend Muangthai PK. Saenchai earlier this year, Harrison delivered one of the greatest comebacks in promotional history.

Inside three minutes, we saw five knockdowns that had ONE commentator Michael Schiavello jumping out of his chair with excitement.

“I’ve been commentating kickboxing and Muay Thai since 1994. I thought I’d seen it all, I’ve never seen anything like that."

'Hitman' hit the mat twice early in the contest. It looked like it was just a matter of time before Muangthai would put his opponent away.

Instead, Liam Harrison picked himself up, dusted himself off, and delivered a comeback for the ages, knocking down Muangthai three times with a barrage of strikes to earn a TKO.

The Englishman's efforts earned him a $100,000 performance bonus, double the standard $50,000 bonus. He also booked his ticket for a shot at bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O.

Following his win, Liam Harrison credited more than two decades of dedication to his performance and suggested that it is his destiny to become a world champion.

“That was 23 years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and determination that has been leading me to this moment. It’s my destiny to hold this title, the greatest title in combat sports. I love this stage.”
