Danial Williams has been very impressed with Nabil Anane's work inside the Circle.
The towering 20-year-old Anane has been on quite the streak since coming up short in his promotional debut against Superlek Kiatmoo9. He's earned five straight wins over the last year, including highlight-reel knockouts against Nakrob Fairtex and Kulabdam Sor Jor Piek Uthai. Most recently, the Algerian-Thai star has seen his hand raised against Felipe Lobo and Soe Lin Oo.
On Friday, December 6, Anane will look to make it six in a row when he squares off with Petchtanong Petchfergus at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video.

Offering his take on Anane's body of work, three-sport superstar Danial Williams told Sportskeeda MMA:
"Yeah, I’ve been impressed by Nabil. He’s such a tough guy to fight against. His size and everything. He knows how to mix things up. Sometimes size alone doesn’t matter. And that’s where you can see the more technical prowess of his."
Danial Williams faces Thongpoon at ONE Fight Night 26
Sharing the stage with Nabil Anane at ONE Fight Night 26 will be Danial Williams.
After scoring a solid unanimous decision victory over Banma Duoji at ONE Fight Night 25 in October, 'Mini T' will look to make it two straight when he meets Thai prospect Thongpoon PK Saenchai inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
With back-to-back losses, Williams expects Thongpoon to go into their fight guns blazing, but it's nothing 'Mini T' hasn't dealt with before.
"Of course. Of course, man. I’m in a really good position right now," Williams said. "I’ve faced fighters like him before in a similar position, but sometimes you can’t be too sure."
Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE Fight Night 26 live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, December 6 in U.S. primetime.
