Electrifying Filipino thunderclap Lito Adiwang is one of the most explosive, strawweight MMA fighters in the world today. ‘Thunder Kid’ can do it all, from trading strikes with fellow knockout finishers and going to the mats with dangerous grapplers.
However, the 30-year-old Adiwang’s grappling skills are severely underrated. A former member of the famed Team Lakay stable from Baguio City, Philippines, ‘Thunder Kid’ honed his skills alongside Filipino legends such as former ONE lightweight MMA world champion Eduard ‘Landslide’ Folayang, former ONE strawweight MMA world champion Joshua ‘The Passion’ Pacio, and many others.
Sharpening his tools with the very best in Filipino MMA, Adiwang has learned the tricks of the trade and turned his grappling into a tool to rip his opponents’ limbs off their bodies and take them home as ornaments.
