Multi-time former ONE world title challenger, Australian-Thai dynamo ‘Mini T’ Danial Williams is ready to face one of the toughest opponents of his career this weekend when he steps into the ONE Championship ring at ONE Fight Night 19. But the 30-year-old veteran fighter still has another foe lingering on his mind that he can’t seem to shake off.
Despite heading into battle against fiery Filipino strawweight ‘Thunder Kid’ Lito Adiwang this Friday night, Williams admits he’s still thinking about his loss to another Filipino fighter in ‘The Jaguar’ Jeremy Miado.
Williams and Miado met in October of 2022, where he lost via third-round technical knockout to the Manila, Philippines native. That defeat kicked off a series of unfortunate setbacks for ‘Mini T’, and he has had trouble getting it out of his mind.
Speaking to Cageside Press in a recent interview, Williams talked about the loss to Miado, and his desire to run it back with ‘The Jaguar’.

‘Mini T’ stated:
“Just ideally take the fight as it comes, man. I love fighting so it's just whatever I get off it I'm quick to jump on it. But in a perfect world, I'd love to have another MMA fight after this [match with Lito Adiwang]. Keep it going, especially that Jeremy Miado rematch, I'll be hunting for that.”
