Lito Adiwang praised Soma Fight Club for having everything needed for combat sports training.
In March 2022, Adiwang endured the toughest setback of his fighting career, a second-round TKO loss against Jeremy Miado due to a torn ACL.
Since then, Adiwang made a significant change in his training regime by switching from the legendary Team Lakay to Soma Fight Club.
During an interview with The MMA Superfan, Adiwang had this to say about training at Soma Fight Club in Indonesia:

"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."
Lito Adiwang's torn ACL raised questions about his future in the ONE strawweight MMA division. The Filipino superstar has since silenced any doubt.
Following his loss against Jeremy Miado, where he suffered his injury, Adiwang has returned to win three consecutive fights against Adrian Mattheis (23-second knockout), Miado (unanimous decision), and Danial Williams (unanimous decision).
