Lito Adiwang is pulled for Jonathan Di Bella in his next fight where he returns to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The former ONE strawweight kickboxing world champion is set to be back in action at ONE Fight Night 26 this Friday, Dec. 6.
In a huge fight for the division, he will take on Portugal's Rui Botelho in a clash that has title implications written all over it.
For Adiwang, he wants to see Di Bella come out on top so that it can lead to a rematch between him and the current champion and two-sport king Prajanchai PK Saenchai.
The two men put on a great fight at ONE Friday Fights 68 in June where a new champion was crowned in an incredibly close contest.

In a recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Lito Adiwang spoke about why he wants to see this rematch:
"His first match with Prajanchai was really fun, so I think fans can expect them to blow the roof off again if they have their rematch. I think more fans will tune in because of the interesting clash of styles between them. So I'm really hoping that he wins this one so that we get a chance to watch that rematch."
Lito Adiwang certainly isn't the only one
Lito Adiwang certainly isn't the only one that wants to see a rematch take place between Jonathan Di Bella and Prajanchai.
In fact, Di Bella included, many expected that there would be an immediate rematch because of how close the fight was.
Instead, it's up to the former champion to get himself back in the win column by beating Botelho before he can try to reclaim the gold.
That doesn't mean that he can afford to overlook Botelho, who has the opportunity to steal away the title shot if he secures the biggest win of his career to date.
