Three-sport athlete Danial Williams believes Rodtang has all the tools he needs to end Jacob Smith's night early at ONE 169.
'Mini T' said in a recent interview:
"I think Rodtang wins. I think he can even put him away. But Jacob is a hard fighter. He trains really hard, like a lot of sprints and that. So he's also quite resilient. I just think Rodtang wins."
