“There was just crazy sh*t happening” - Liam Harrison looks back on wild early days training in Thailand
British Muay Thai icon and former ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title challenger 'Hitman' Liam Harrison of the United Kingdom has a lot of cool stories about his early days training in Thailand that he wants to share, when it's all said and done in his career.
For the past decade, Harrison has been a fixture in the biggest Muay Thai fights internationally, and he has built a solid reputation as an all-action finisher in the ring.
One of the reasons he's as good as he is now, is because he once spent years in Thailand -- the birthplace of Muay Thai -- honing his skills with some of the biggest legends of the sport.
Speaking to MMA TV in a recent interview, Harrison teased some epic tales that he wants to eventually share with the world.
'Hitman' said:
"I've got all sorts. There was just crazy shit happening to either me or some of the other fighters every single day in Thailand. There's always something mental out there. And these were all before the days of social media. And if I could have put some of these stories on social media as they were happening, I'm telling you now, to about 100 million followers, because the stories and what went down was absolutely fucking ridiculous."
