Australia's Danial Williams is excited about his upcoming fight against 'The Jaguar' Jeremy Miado in a highly anticipated MMA bout. Both fighters are on win streaks in the stacked strawweight division, and Williams may be looking for a world title shot next.

According to 'Mini T,' this will be an exciting bout that makes a ton of sense for his future. The 29-year-old did not hesitate when it was offered. In an interview with ONE Championship, he said:

“I was happy with this matchup as soon as it was thrown to me. I didn’t even take two seconds to think twice about it. Me and Miado makes total sense. He’s on the same brink as I am. He was in the top five a few months ago. Now I stole it, so a win for both of us here is pivotal.”

Australian fighter Danial Williams is currently ranked No. 5 in the division, a spot the Filipino fighter occupied after he defeated his compatriot, Lito Adiwang, earlier this year.

Plus, both fighters, at ONE on Prime Video 3 on October 21, will be looking to make it four wins in a row. Williams continued:

“We’re in the same boat. There’s a lot on the line for both of us, and this is why this one is going to be a banger on Prime Video.”
