Multi-sport talent Danial Williams: “MMA has always been my end goal”
Multi-sport fighter Danial Williams has had his time in Muay Thai and kickboxing, but says his heart belongs to mixed martial arts.
Speaking in the same interview, Williams says he is focused solely on MMA moving forward.
‘Mini T’ said:
“MMA has always been my end goal. I’ve stopped at the highest level of Muay Thai to do MMA. I know I’ve got to spend time on that because it’s been a bit mad trying to get the skills over the last two and a bit years, when I’ve been jumping between sports. I definitely feel like I’m at a level where I just need to keep improving in MMA.”
