Australian-Thai superstar and former two-time ONE world title challenger ‘Mini T’ Danial Williams has had a career year, despite things not going exactly as he had hoped for.
Williams first challenged for ONE gold against Superlek in March, losing by third-round knockout. Most recently, however, Williams took on ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion Jonathan Di Bella at ONE Fight Night 15 earlier this month, and dropped a unanimous decision.

“It's already been a week since I fought and I'm super grateful to fight the best once again.”
“Reflecting on my last year, my last 3 fights have been my worst losses. 1x MMA match and 2x Kickboxing world titles. Truth is I haven't won one round in those fights, with one being a ref stoppage and another being a KO. It has definitely been the worst year of my 15yr fighting career 😅🤣 I can only laugh about it now writing this but I know adjustments are needed moving forward.”
Despite the setbacks, Williams found a silver lining in being able to discover his weaknesses, which gives him something to work on. ‘Mini T’ added:
“One positive I took from this fight is I can hold my own in southpaw. Trying something new in a world title fight is not what you want but after repeatedly breaking the same foot in the fights prior and having serious troubles with it during camp, I had to practice something new. I felt the southpaw switch helped me last the whole fight. I was taking a bit of damage in my regular stance from round 1, it was a good move by my coach to get me to change tactics.”
“So if I continue to improve what works and what isn't, I believe then I'll be able to go for the Submission Grappling World Title across 3 weight classes. Let's Fucking Go!!!”
