FREE FULL FIGHT: Thai-Aussie star Danial Williams overcomes Japan's Namiki Kawahara in brutal MMA brawl
Danial Williams is a must-see fighter for many reasons. One great example is his strawweight MMA showdown with Japanese standout Namiki Kawahara at ONE 156 in April 2022.
'Mini T' and Kawahara swung for the fences early in their three-round matchup. Kawahara's excellent grappling abilities allowed him to stay in step with Williams for much of the bout, but the latter's exemplary striking ultimately earned him the unanimous decision victory.
Rewatch their epic three-round encounter, which ONE posted on YouTube:
Williams earned his third straight victory under the ONE banner with a stunning knockout of Zelang Zhaxi in July 2022 after being defeated in his promotional debut by ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon in April 2021.
However, the three-sport star has since fallen on hard times. He is currently on a four-fight losing skid, which began with a third-round TKO defeat to Jeremy Miado in October 2022.
Danial Williams back in action at ONE Fight Night 25
Danial Williams will have a golden opportunity to return to his winning ways when he goes toe-to-toe with Banma Duoji in a catchweight (136.25 pounds) MMA bout at ONE Fight Night 25 on Friday, Oct. 4, inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
'The Prince' is coming off his maiden win under the ONE banner last July 2023 against hard-hitting Muay Thai sensation Walter Goncalves, who was making his MMA debut then.
With the Thai-Australian and Banma both possessing spectacular power, their show-opening clash at ONE Fight Night 25 could end in an unforgettable knockout victory for either man.
ONE Fight Night 25 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
