Lito Adiwang tests skills against Jarred Brooks in the main event of ONE: Next Gen III. This bout transpires at Singapore Indoor Stadium on Friday, November 26th.
I spoke with Adiwang ahead of this contest. We delved into several subjects such as: -The fight being originally scheduled for April and this bout finally coming to fruition
-His fight with Hexigetu Hexi was canceled and transpired later on in the year. If there's a certain level of benefit to getting to game plan more with canceled contests that eventually get re-booked
-Who Adiwang is working with at Team Lakay for this upcoming Brooks fight
-Brooks saying previously that Team Lakay has a lack of wrestling based training partners you could work with and who Adiwang has gotten in that sort of grappling work with
-Working with Joshua Pacio and both those guys being ranked within the top five
-Manny Pacquiao being a big influence and how Adiwang feels now inspiring people out there
-The feelings associated with being the ONE: Next Gen III main event contest
-ONE Championship's strawweight class being in a healthy vibrant place
-What Adiwang's ideal special rules bout would be ala DJ vs Rodtang
-The overall thoughts on Jared Brooks, some of the wrestling stylings, and what he brings to the table as a fighter
-What Lito Adiwang does to decompress from training and unwind
