"The excitement for his fights will come back" - Lito Adiwang says Rodtang will be more entertaining at bantamweight

Lito Adiwang is excited by the prospect of one of the biggest stars in combat sports taking the next step in his career.

As a combat sports fan, he wants to see the best and most exciting match-ups and sometimes that means fighters moving weight classes to challenge themselves.

Rodtang Jitmuangnon has dominated the flyweight Muay Thai division for many years, becoming a huge star in the process.

However, he's had issues hitting the weight in the past and he's already beaten many of the top contenders.

Though it was an unfortunate event, his recent weight miss at ONE 169 where he was stripped of the title provides the perfect moment for him to move up.

There are so many exciting fights for him at bantamweight. However, Adiwang knows that this also comes with a risk for 'The Iron Man' becuase he will be facing larger opponents.

Adiwang spoke about this during a recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA:

"Yeah, that will be his disadvantage. He'll have literally bigger opponents. But the advantage of that is that the excitement for his fights may come back. We've seen that if he fights someone in his weight division, fans already have the idea that he's going to win."

Lito Adiwang wants to see Rodtang push himself

Lito Adiwang is right to point out that Rodtang has been dominant for so long at flyweight that there aren't too many legitimate threats to him.

Bantamweight, on the other hand, is a flourishing division right now that already features some of his past rivals and most iconic opponents like Superlek and Jonathan Haggerty.

Alongside them are new challenges like Nico Carrillo and Nabil Anane.

The options are endless at bantamweight and as Adiwang identified, this would create a lot more excitement for the fans who are used to seeing Rodtang dominate.
