Danial Williams shares his excitement for ONE Championship’s debut on US soil

ONE strawweight contender Danial Williams is excited about ONE Championship planting its roots in American soil, as it provides an opportunity for the promotion to showcase some of their best and brightest athletes.

Asia's premier combat sports organization is scheduled to make its long-awaited North American debut this May with ONE on Prime Video 10.

Danial Williams is looking forward to watching the promotion put on a show and grow its fanbase. He told ONE:

"It’s cool that ONE is going over there not just showcasing MMA. Showcasing Muay Thai, kickboxing, submission grappling. Just showing what they do as a brand and how they are different instead of being compared to the UFC all the time. Just show that we are different and we showcase these different martial arts as well."

The stacked card will be headlined by a mega-trilogy bout between flyweight champ Demetrious Johnson and familiar foe Adriano Moraes.

Danial Williams praises ONE Championship's lower weight divisions

There's no debating the talent and depth within ONE Championship's lower weight divisions. Take their bantamweight division, for instance, which includes the likes of Fabricio Andrade, John Lineker, and Stephen Loman, among others.

The 29-year-old is one of the many world-class fighters in ONE's lower weight classes, giving him first-hand experience on the topic. He told the promotion:

“They put more effort into the promotion. They give us good fights, we’re active. There’s always a strawweight or a flyweight on the card, compared to some other promotions.”

'Mini T' added:

“We started in Asia, and Asia is shorter in general, so I guess there’s a lot of competition over here in those divisions. When the guys make this promotion, they’ve had to run through a lot of competition... So I think the level of our smaller guys over here is better. Of course, we got DJ [Demetrious Johnson] over here as well. I think he’s the GOAT. So I think the level of competition is quite strong over here in the East.”

Be sure to check back for an announcement pertaining to Danial Williams' next fight, as it will surely be against one of the roster's top strawweights.
