On September 6, the world’s largest martial arts organization made its much-anticipated return to U.S. soil with a blockbuster card loaded with high-stakes matchups.
ONE 168: Denver aired live in North American primetime from Ball Arena and delivered no shortage of thrilling battles and epic finishes across both MMA and Muay Thai contests. Here’s how all the fights played out in “The Mile High City” before Jonathan “The General” Haggerty and “The Kicking Machine” Superlek Kiatmoo9 threw down for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Title in the main event. Seksan Stops Harrison In Frantic Brawl A post shared by ONE Championship (@onechampionship) Just as predicted, fan favorites Seksan “The Man Who Yields To No One” Or Kwanmuang and Liam “Hitman” Harrison delivered an epic slugfest in their 140-pound catchweight Muay Thai showdown.
The Brit landed hard shots in the first few minutes of the contest, but Seksan ate those and applied his trademark, relentless pressure. He kept that suffocating pace up in the second round as he blasted “Hitman” with massive body kicks and looping punches, knocking Harrison to the canvas twice before landing a fight-winning overhand at 1:49 of round two. The wild barnburner improved the 35-year-old’s career slate to an incredible 202-75 and secured him a well-deserved US$50,000 performance bonus from ONE Chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
