“First person to land” - Danial Williams expects a game of inches against fellow KO artist Thongpoon

Danial Williams knows all too well that when two aggressive headhunters collide, it's only a matter of time before someone drops unconscious.

That said, the Thai-Australian gunslinger expects to be in a bloody war against the ultra-aggressive Thongpoon PK Saenchai when they butt heads on Dec. 6 at ONE Fight Night 26: Lee vs Rasulov on Prime Video.

Williams has never been afraid of a firefight, nor will he be anytime soon. 'Mini T' is quite familiar with Thongpoon's penchant for figuring in wild battles at close distance.

While he can't predict the outcome, Williams said he guarantees fans inside 'The Mecca of Muay Thai' Lumpinee Stadium will be at the edge of their seats once they begin trading strikes with evil intent.

The three-sport athlete told Sportskeeda MMA in an exclusive interview:

“When he does throw, he takes quite a few risks with some big, big punching strikes. So he’s got some advantage there if we go into a dogfight. It becomes a 50-50, you know, first person to land."

Brawling is pretty much in Danial Williams' DNA. We know styles make fights, and it's likely the judges won't be needed when these two firecrackers finally lock horns.

Danial Williams wary of Thongpoon's destructive capabilities

Danial Williams has been on both sides of the coin when it comes to dealing with knockouts.

While 'Mini T' has recorded highlight reel-worthy finishes in the past, he's also been reckless and has been the recipient of some.

This time, though, the 31-year-old veteran said he's been tightening up his defense to ensure Thongpoon won't be able to land his mind-numbing shots.

Williams told Sportskeeda MMA:

"That's the main thing I have to worry about, his knockout power. I know I cannot sleep on it. More like, it will be unwise of me to do so. I don't want to just go in there without giving much attention to that."
