is finding peace and tranquility in his new home in Western Australia.

The 31-year-old fan-favorite will soon return to action against Chinese standout in U.S. primetime on October 4 at .

That flyweight MMA matchup will go down at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

After years of living in the metropolitan city of Perth, Williams and his longtime partner have recently relocated four hours away to the small town of Manjimup.

The pair had visited the area a number of times on camping trips and weekend getaways, but when a job opportunity for his partner opened up in Manjimup, they pulled the trigger and made the permanent move.

바카라Mini T바카라 spoke to about the decision to leave Perth for the slower pace of a rural town:

바카라We always wanted to move down there. It바카라s been a good six to seven years in the making. It was more of like, when I바카라m done fighting or when we바카라re a bit older, when we wanna have a family, we바카라ll move down there. But it came sooner than we expected.

바카라It바카라s just a place we always wanted to move down to, to our favorite camping spot. We바카라ve been there nearly half the year now. And yeah, we바카라re gonna be there for a long time, I think.바카라

The change of scenery has proven beneficial for Williams바카라 mindset.

While he바카라s revered and renowned as an all-action brawler willing to take on the planet바카라s most dangerous fighters on a moment바카라s notice, his fan-friendly style has led to an unfortunate four-fight losing streak.

According to 바카라Mini T,바카라 relocating to Manjimup has been just the change he needed to get his career back on track:

바카라Obviously, after being on a bit of a skid, you바카라ve got to look at a few things. Things have got to change. Where my mental space has been, those camping trips led to actually moving down closer to being in rural parts of nature. Moving out of the city has been one of the best things that바카라s happened so far.바카라

Being so close to nature 바카라 and so far away from the stresses of the big city 바카라 has lifted Williams바카라 day-to-day mood. From green forests to pristine lakes, the region offers a slice of heaven for the Thai-Australian superstar.

He added:

바카라We live in a beautiful place now. It바카라s just where all the big trees, big curry trees are. A lot of forests, a lot of dense forest, and a lot of good produce comes out of the city and out of the Manjimup area.

바카라It바카라s just where I want to be, [it has] a lot of freshwater lakes and not too many people. I think it suits my vibe and suits my partner바카라s vibe.바카라

Williams Details Mental Health Benefits Of Living In Nature

While it바카라s yet to be seen how the move to Manjimup will affect Danial Williams when he faces Banma Duoji, he can say for certain that it has already improved his mental health by leaps and bounds.

In Perth 바카라 a city of over 2 million people 바카라 he ran a float tank business in between fights and training camps. That always-on-the-go lifestyle, he said, had him feeling overwhelmed:

바카라I guess I can get highly stressed over the smallest things. So, just being out in a rural area where everything is a little bit more simple, there바카라s not too many people and you don바카라t have too many options for shops and entertainment. So, you kinda get more drawn to the nature, I바카라d say.바카라

When life got stressful in Perth, Williams and his partner would find themselves escaping to nature and he would instantly feel recharged.

For the sake of his mental health, the decision to move to the countryside was an obvious one:

바카라Living a lot more simple has been really good for my mental health because the last few years have been pretty chaotic for me, running a business and fighting. I바카라m just trying to do too much, and I think that바카라s why I was doing a lot of camping trips, a lot of escapes.

바카라Then it got to the point where it바카라s like, 바카라Why don바카라t we do this full time? We like it out here.바카라 We love the simple aspect. We love being around nature. So, I think the biggest thing for me, mental health-wise, is just simplifying life and just being where we want to be, which is around nature. Not too much hustle and bustle, which is good for my personality, good for my partner바카라s personality. It바카라s been an awesome change so far.바카라
