"The top of the chain" - Danial Williams looking hyped up for Jonathan Di Bella and Rui Botelho pairing at ONE Fight Night 26

Three-sport ONE Championship star Danial Williams already feels the excitement that former ONE strawweight kickboxing king Jonathan Di Bella and rising star Rui Botelho are set to bring at ONE Fight Night 26 on Dec. 6.

Speaking exclusively with Sportskeeda MMA, the Thai-Australian talked about Di Bella and Botelho's strawweight kickboxing bout:

"I think these guys are the top of the chain in their kickboxing division, so it's gonna be a very technical and complete fight. I've been alongside Rui in the same circuit for years, and I always think he's more of a kickboxer, that's where he's better. He's a better kickboxer than a Muay Mat. And Jonathan Di Bella, he's a former world champion. So yeah. Great fight. A good fight."

Williams' enthusiasm is warranted as the Team Di Bella Kickboxing product and Botelho are two of the most exciting strikers in ONE's 125-pound kickboxing division.

With the winner potentially having the chance to fight for 26 pounds of strawweight kickboxing gold in their next fight, fans can expect a barnburner when Di Bella and the Dinamite Team representative clash at ONE Fight Night 26.
