Filipino strawweight mixed martial arts firecracker ‘Thunder Kid’ Lito Adiwang is more than willing to make the necessary sacrifices to become successful in his career. This includes flying thousands of miles overseas away from friends and family to hone his craft.
Adiwang left the famed Team Lakay stable of Baguio City, Philippines last year in search of greener pastures. After months of shifting around, the 30-year-old finally found a home in the island locale of Bali, Indonesia, where he now trains at the renowned SOMA Fight Club.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Adiwang says these sacrifices are necessary, and when he comes to reap the fruits of his hard work, it will also prove to be worth it.
