to post a video pledging: 'When I hit 200,000 followers, I'll do whatever the
top comment is on this video, and post it!'
The winning comment read: 'Fly to a small town in Thailand, get accepted by their people, learn the language, train in Muay Thai for a year-and-a-half, fight in a tournament, win the tournament, return to the USA and join the UFC, stay in shape and go undefeated in your weight class, retire and do an interview saying this comment was the reason you fought so hard...'
Harrington later responded with a post
saying that he wouldn't be able to stay in Thailand for more than a week, but
to his credit he has continued to post videos of himself training in Muay Thai
- even throwing punches at a bag while his left arm was in a cast.

with the caption: 'One step closer,' teasing the possibility of genuinely
attempting the challenge.
And on May 9 he added to his X account a post saying: 'With all
your support, my visa has been approved. And right after 51 days, I'll catch my
flight for Thailand.'
