Earlier, Liam Harrison (36) got the championship fight after one of the most chaotic bouts in fighting history, and not only Muay Thai. The multi-time world Muay Thai champion wanted to capture the ONE gold, but the reigning champion was too much for him.
The Thailand-based athlete, with 263 wins under his belt and 6 bantamweight championships, came into the bout with extreme confidence.
As soon as the bell rang, both fighters took the centre stage and exchanged some ferocious blows. A brutal leg kick ended the bout. The Thai fighter retained the belt with a definitive statement.

Liam Harrison might be awesome, but I know "I'm about to do a job" energy when I see it. #ONEonPrimeVideo1

I wonder if Liam Harrison's knee got injured after the first stumble from the leg kick right to the knee. He did load it a bit and eat a kick, to boot. #ONEonPrimeVideo1 #ONEChampionship #MuayThai

OH MY GOD!!!!
Nong-O Gaiyanghadao used his varied attack & savage leg kicks stop Liam Harrison in the 1st round.
He retains his ONE Bw Muay Thai title. Incredible! #ONEonPrimeVideo1

And that’s it!!! Only in the first round. STILL the ONE Championship Bantamweight Muay Thai World Champion, Nong-O Gaiyanghadao 🇹🇭. Did not expect Nong-O to stop Liam Harrison 🇬🇧 in the first round, especially by low kicks. Nong-O is truly a special fighter. pic.twitter.com/xmBmh4BYm4

Nong-O beating Liam Harrison isn’t surprising though it is disappointing. But to chop his leg that quickly was surprising. #ONEonPrimeVideo1 #Ten8Pod

Even more impressive to do this to Liam Harrison, Mr Low Kick himself.
No shame in losing to him.— Dom (@Frittenpate) August 27, 2022
Damn Nong O is a bad dude. Everything was lightning quick and hard as shit
