Fresh off of his win at ONE Fight Night 19, Lito Adiwang is now targeting the top of the strawweight MMA division for his next fight.
‘Thunder Kid’ improved his winning streak to three with a unanimous decision victory over Danial Williams this past week in a fight that showcased his best attributes on Friday, February 16.
Since returning from injury, Adiwang has looked better than ever and he hopes to capitalize on this momentum by facing off with a higher ranked opponent next time out.
In a post-fight interview with Sportskeeda MMA, Lito Adiwang named two challenges that make sense for him right now.
He picked out one top contender who is also on an impressive win streak or the champion himself as two routes he hopes to explore in the near future:
“I've been asking for [Gustavo] Balart. If yeah, they give me an opportunity to fight, I’d like to test my skills against Balart. But If I’m not, I’m really looking forward to jump and face the champion.”
