Filipino MMA star Lito Adiwang says Rodtang is a difficult opponent to beat
ONE strawweight MMA contender Lito Adiwang has nothing but praise for the Jitmuangnon Gym representative as he recently said that his style is difficult to decode.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda MMA, 'The Thunder Kid,' who now trains under the SOMA Fight Club in Indonesia, has explained that Rodtang's combination of power and unpredictability makes him a challenging opponent to beat, as he stated:
"So that's what makes him a really difficult opponent. You're trying to figure out how to defend or avoid his power shots, but he's also working on his next move. It takes someone special to beat Rodtang."
