Liu Hailong (p=Liǔ Hǎilóng, born May 30, 1981, in Shandong) is a Chinese Sanshou kickboxer. Liu's rise to fame came in 2000 in the inaugural King of sanda tournament. Liu not only won his weight class, but went on to win a one-night open weight round robin tournament, giving him the title Sanda "King of Kings".
At the 2002 Sanshou World Cup in Macau, Liu faced Muslim Salihov in a competition and beat him on points to win the 80 kg division gold medal. Salihov is a highly accomplished Russian Sanshou fighter who would later become a King of Sanda himself. Some fight observers believe Salihov won the closely contested match.
In 2003, Liu faced a fellow King of Sanda in Yuan Yubao in the promotion's first "superfight", defeating him by decision to earn the title of "Super King of Sanda".
In December 2003, Liu scored a unanimous decision over Eduardo Fujihara to claim the IKF Sanshou World Championship.
After an injury in 2005, Liu retired from the sport. In 2009, he made a comeback facing and defeating Japanese fighter Iga Koji.
