The crazy bout saw Harrison getting the win in the latter part of the bout. However, it came after “Hitman” got knocked down twice in the first round. Yet, he would not let the third knockdown which would’ve ended the bout.
The “Hitman” lived up to his moniker and fought back and landed some good shots that put “Elbow Zombie” on the mat two times. With both fighters having two knockdowns each, the scene at the Singapore Indoor Stadium was insane.
One more knockdown from any fighter was the end of the bout. Harrison continued the momentum, and with a great combo that put down PK.Saenchai for the third time and secured a magnificent win.
Liam Harrison received a double bonus for his performance at ONE 156
“Hitman” coming back later in the bout and getting the win saw him receive a post-fight bonus from ONE‘s Chairman and CEO, Chatri Sityodtong. However, instead of $50k, Harrison received a whopping $100K extra money.
But they announced his double bonus when it was revealed that his next fight would be for the Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship against the champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao. The Bantamweight champion recently flat-lined Felipe Lobo in the third round of their bout at ONE X.
