"Best UK fighter there's been" - Fans can't get enough of the insanity Liam Harrison produced against Muangthai
Fight fans just can't get enough of Liam Harrison's insane performance against Muangthai PK Saenchai at ONE 156.
Named the 2022 Fight of the Year for a reason, both Liam Harrison and the Thai veteran Muangthai put on a show that will be remembered for many years to come.
Within the first round alone, we saw both men wobble each other with massive strikes to score two knockdowns apiece as they searched for the winning knockout.
Harrison, for his part looked like the worse for wear when Muangthai dropped him twice in consecutive order. One more knockdown meant the end for Harrison. But the British star miraculously returned back into the fight to score two major knockdowns of his own, until putting Muangthai down with a third and final knockdown to take home the victory.
Fight fans online are mesmerized by Harrison's tenacious spirit in the face of adversity. They praised the 38-year-old veteran online with the following comments below:

"Haggerty needs to beat someone in their prime now" - Liam Harrison removes any doubt of a possible world title match with Jonathan Haggerty
Even though many believe that Liam Harrison could beat Jonathan Haggerty in a world title bout, Harrison thinks he might not be the best option for the job.
The British superstar is just a couple of years away from pushing 40, so he's not in any way ready to put himself on the list of potential opponents for an in-prime 27-year-old two-sport world champion like Jonathan Haggerty.
Speaking to SkySports, the 'Hitman' explained:
"Haggerty needs to beat someone in their prime now, like Nico [Carillo], like a Superlek, like a Rodtang, for him to go to that next level."
The person Liam Harrison is ready for is Katsuki Kitano who returns for his second fight under the promotion after winning his debut fight against Halil Kutukcu by decision last October.
