"I try to be real" - Lito Adiwang appreciates the honesty at SOMA Fight Club that he never had before

Lito Adiwang is enjoying the privilege of being honest with his team at SOMA Fight Club, especially in the aspect of identifying the strengths and weaknesses in his MMA skillset.

In his most recent appearance on The MMA Superfan YouTube channel, Adiwang discussed the difference between his current team and his previous team, as he explained:

"Right now, I'm getting the training where I can voice out to my coaches the spots I'm comfortable in, that I can have an advantage on particular areas. The big difference is that I try to be real. I tell them my weak points as well as my strong points. So the progression and improvement is really fast. Additionally, they give me new pointers to help improve me."
