Get ready for a high-stakes Muay Thai clash as Thongpoon PK Saenchai faces off against Danial “Mini-T” Williams in a strawweight thriller at ONE Fight Night 26, airing live on U.S. primetime this December 6. With both fighters bringing relentless action and a thirst for victory, fans are in for an explosive battle.
Thongpoon, coming off two consecutive losses, knows this fight could define his future in ONE Championship. "For this fight, I am hungry for victory because if I lose again, it will affect my future in ONE. My back is against the wall right now," Thongpoon confessed. The Thai dynamo has vowed to evolve, promising fans a sharper, smarter version of himself.
Despite the pressure, Thongpoon insists he won’t hold back. "I will still use my aggressive style but fight smarter. I’ve learned from my mistakes and am ready to think faster and adapt in the heat of the moment," he stated. His strategy? Force the fast-moving Williams into a corner and unleash his power.
On the other side, Williams enters with momentum after breaking a four-fight losing streak by defeating Banma Duoji at ONE Fight Night 25. The Australian striker admires Thongpoon's fearless style and anticipates a fight that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. "I’m a fan of [Thongpoon]. We’re both risk-takers, and it’s gonna be a lot of entertainment," Williams said.
But Williams isn’t taking any chances in the firefight. Aware of Thongpoon’s power, “Mini-T” plans to strike first and strike hard. "When he throws, he takes big risks. If it turns into a dogfight, it’s a 50-50—first person to land. I feel like one of us is getting put away," Williams predicted.
Both fighters share the belief that the match could end in a spectacular finish, with Williams gunning for an early knockout. "The ideal way would be finishing him in the first round. If I can get it done in the first 10 seconds, that’ll be awesome," he remarked.
