Filipino strawweight MMA wildman and former Team Lakay standout ‘Thunder Kid’ Lito Adiwang left the Baguio City-based stable in pursuit of greener pastures, and the 30-year-old has absolutely no regrets.
Adiwang has since made the thousand-mile trip to Bali, Indonesia, where he now trains at SOMA Fight Club. ‘Thunder Kid’ says the move across gyms has been heaven-sent.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Adiwang talked about SOMA Fight Club and how it’s a perfect fit for him.
