“I’m gonna adapt” - Seksan says he isn’t mindless on offense, promises sound game plan for Liam Harrison war
Thai legend Seksan Or Kwanmuang vows to bring a two-way game when he returns to action this weekend in the United States. 'The Man Who Yields To No One' is slated to take on comebacking Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom in a catchweight (140 lbs) Muay Thai showdown at ONE 168 in Denver, Colorado, on Sept. 6 at the Ball Arena.
During the press conference for the event earlier this week, Seksan shared that he has prepared a sound game plan against Harrison that will see him come from all directions, both offense and defense.
The 35-year-old Bangkok-based fighter said:
"I've trained differently this time with my trainers and my team, I'm gonna be more active, but if I wanna come forward I'm gonna come forward and I'm gonna change my game up and I'm gonna adapt to whatever the situation may be."
Seksan is seeking to rebound at ONE 168 after he was dealt his first defeat in nine matches in ONE Championship in his last fight back in April.
For his part, Harrison will be competing for the first time after two years because of a knee injury. His recovery turned out longer than he expected but he is confident that he is back in full strength and ready more than ever to resume his ONE campaign.
ONE 168: Denver will air live and for free in U.S. primetime to North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription. Tickets for the event, meanwhile, are available via Ticketmaster.
Seksan does not see Liam Harrison fight going the distance
Seksan Or Kwanmuang does not see his match against Liam Harrison at ONE 168: Denver on Sept. 6 going the distance. He said he will make sure to finish his British counterpart.
The Thai legend made this known in an interview with Sportskeeda MMA ahead of his showdown with 'Hitman' in ONE Championship's second live on-ground event in the United States.
Seksan shared that he has a game plan in place for Harrison, which includes going for an early finish, saying:
"[I'll be] waliking towards him, being aggressive, putting pressure. Personally, I have a strong belief that this fight will not go the distance. But if we can fight until the last bell rings, it's going to be fierce three rounds."
The Harrison-Seksan clash is one of five Muay Thai matches on offer at ONE 168: Denver.
