“I don’t want to fight for some rankings” – Lito Adiwang says earning a title shot is his sole focus in recent career resurgence

Filipino firecracker and former Team Lakay standout ‘Thunder Kid’ Lito Adiwang is ready to lay siege to the ONE Championship strawweight throne after having won two straight bouts against tough opponents Adrian Mattheis and Jeremy Miado last year.

Now, the 30-year-old Baguio City, Philippines native is looking to make a statement in his next fight and prove that he is ready for a run at the ONE strawweight MMA world title.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Adiwang talked about exciting the fans in his next fight and, at the same time, making a statement.

‘Thunder Kid’ said:

“For me, being in the top five doesn’t excite me. The only thing that excites me is winning, and getting that title shot. I don’t want to fight for some rankings. I want to get a World Title shot. That’s what will excite me.”

The 30-year-old strawweight MMA superstar is one of the most exciting fighters in ONE Championship. But now, he will get to prove he belongs among the top five elite in his division.
