ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world champion Nong-O Gaiyanghadao.
N
ong-O Gaiyanghadao has conveyed a message to Liam “Hitman” Harrison ahead of their ONE bantamweight Muay Thai world title showdown on Aug. 27.
The reigning champion will put his belt on the line against Harrison in the comain event of ONE Fight Night 1: Moraes vs. Johnson II, which airs live during United States primetime
The two hard punchers have long been destined to meet, and when that opportunity comes, Nong-O makes sure that the matchup at Singapore Indoor Stadium will produce nothing but fireworks.
The Thai legend conveyed the message on Instagram recently with the following caption:
“Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. Once the cage is locked, there is no escape. I’m coming for blood.”
Harrison, highly regarded as one of the best combat sports athletes from the United Kingdom, is known for his aggressive style. He can put any opponent to sleep with one single punch or kick.
“That makes 2 of us … BRING IT,” Harrison replied in the comment section.

While saying that defending the belt is non-negotiable for Nong-O, he recently conceded that he was fond of the aggressive style Harrison produces in every fight. The British star never backs down when the cage is locked, and he is never afraid of trading shots – a mindset that Nong-O admires.
“It might seem ridiculous to say that my favorite Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer is Liam Harrison, my next challenger. I’ve been following him for quite a long time. I love his style. His fights are always exciting and fun to watch” Nong-O said.
“For our World Title fight, I believe that both of us will go all out. And I am sure that it will end with a knockout, either for him or me.”
