More than extending his win streak to four and potentially earning a spot in the strawweight division's top five rankings with a win over Keito Yamakita on Feb. 7 at ONE Fight Night 28, Lito Adiwang wants to display a spectacular performance for all his Filipino countrymen. Adiwang specifically identified all the fans who will be in attendance at the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and told The MMA Superfan:
"Of course, I'll do my best to come out victorious here. I know we have countrymen who will fly out to watch again just like my previous fights. Bangkok is "The Land of Smiles" so I want them to go out smiling from that stadium."

"It's really a huge help for me because that's really important. My main job as a fighter is to train, rest, and recover. And then repeat. I get to do that here because I only train in one gym where everything is - strength and conditioning, wrestling, BJJ, boxing, to Muay Thai."
