Lito Adiwang is aware that he will need to be on the lookout for Adrian Mattheis’s explosive assaults and significant knockout power if they face each other in a fight.
Adiwang will make his long-awaited return to ONE as part of the promotion’s immensely packed return to the famous Lumpinee Boxing Stadium this Friday. Adiwang’s previous outing inside the Circle was more than a year ago. Rodtang will face Superlek, the reigning flyweight kickboxing king, in the main event of the evening, which will be a catchweight Muay Thai match that will take place at 140 pounds. This fight will pit two Thai superstars against one another.
Before that, spectators will be treated to a bout between two of the promotion’s most prolific finishers. Lito Adiwang will be competing against a fighter who has an outstanding 89% finish record throughout a total of 15 fights held inside the Circle, and Adiwang will be looking to climb back into the win column against his opponent.
Because of the amazing power that Adrian Mattheis possesses, ‘Thunder Kid’ is aware that in order for him to win at ONE Friday Fights 34, he will need to keep his guard up and not take any unnecessary risks.
“His explosive attack, that’s the thing I need to look out for,” Adiwang said to The MMA Superfan before the fight. “We saw what he did against Alex Silva where Alex controlled him on the ground, but by the time the second round rolled, he just exploded and he got that KO,” Adiwang said. “We saw what he did against Alex Silva where Alex controlled him on the ground.””Consequently, those maneuvers are the ones I’m keeping an eye out for. I witnessed in the past that once he got angry, he would just blow out. He has crazy swings, so that is one thing I need to watch out for, and I also need to check on my game plan for the fight.
Lito Adiwang has high hopes that he will be able to show the world and ONE Championship that he is still very much a contender in the extremely competitive strawweight category if he can pull off an outstanding victory over Adrian Mattheis on Friday.
