On Friday, February 16, “Thunder Kid” will battle Danial Williams in a strawweight MMA battle at ONE Fight Night 19: Haggerty vs. Lobo inside the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, and he’s excited to be paired with an equally exciting fighter as himself.
Lito Adiwang is on a mission to prove he is the best striker
“We all know Danial always shows up to fight. We’ve seen him step up and compete against the best strikers in the world. I’m just thinking, he’s here to fight all the best strikers, and I want to prove that I belong on the list,” Adiwang said.
Williams is a multi-sport star who has competed in MMA, Muay Thai, and kickboxing during his tenure in ONE. He has faced some of the best strikers in the world, like Rodtang Jitmuangnon, Superlek Kiatmoo9, and Jonathan Di Bella, and impressed against all.

Despite the caliber of fighter that the Aussie-Thai fighter has taken on, Adiwang is unfazed and believes he offers a different challenge for his experienced opponent.
“Sure, he’s faced a lot of World Champions, and I know for myself that I bring something different to the table. I’ll just have to show it in the ring,” he said.
“We can both be good strikers, but I believe styles make fights. I have a lot of things to offer that he hasn’t seen yet, and I know that’s my key to victory.”
Adiwang is confident of finishing the fight early
“Thunder Kid” has gained quite a reputation for pushing for a finish and, like Williams, he’s known for putting on a show. So, their matchup has the recipe for an explosive war.
Pressed for a prediction, the Soma Fight Club representative said their match won’t go the distance, and he promised to stun the crowd in attendance with his performance.
“If all goes well as planned, I know that I’ll be able to finish him by KO or submission. This won’t go past the second round,” Adiwang said.
“Expect that I’m going there with a bang. I’m going to electrify Lumpinee, entertain the fans, and get the win.”
