Humble Seksan plays down his status as one of the all-time greats after Liam Harrison KO in Denver
Seksan Or Kwanmuang refuses to think he's one of the best Muay Thai fighters today despite adding another impressive knockout at ONE 168: Denver last week.
'The Man Who Yields To No One' crossed paths with Liam Harrison in an epic all-legend showdown that lived up to its billing as a back-and-forth war inside Ball Arena on September 6.
Though Harrison's volume of strikes had things going for him earlier, the Thai's artillery sent the Englishman to the canvas thrice in the second round of their 140-pound catchweight affair for a TKO victory.
Many were quick to praise the battle-tested fighter as an all-time great after the victory over a man of similar status. However, Seksan was quick to shut down any talks about his status as a legend during the post-event press conference.
The 35-year-old shared:
"I definitely don't think I'm the best in the world. There are plenty of fighters who are better than me."
Seksan's humble take is far from true, however.
Often regarded as one of the most dangerous strikers in "The Art of Eight Limbs" the 285-fight veteran has been gracing the ring with his exciting blend of striking over the past twenty years.
And he's done the same since joining the ranks of ONE Championship. The Muay Thai specialist enjoyed an 8-0 run last year before he suffered a loss to Yutaro Asahi this past April. His win over Harrison pushed him back into the winner's column with a 9-1 promotional slate.

In the opposite corner, Liam Harrison decided to call it a day after sharing the ring with Seksan in the Mile High City last Friday.
The Leeds legend admits that he didn't feel like himself during the fight after returning back to action following a lengthy layoff. Still, 'Hitman' has plenty to look back on, having enjoyed a glorious run at the pinnacle of Muay Thai with several world championship accolades along the way.
