Finally, Lito Adiwang’s request has been granted.
This coming November 26, 2021, the Team Lakay standout will be facing top strawweight contender Jarred Brooks on ONE: Next Gen III.
The highly anticipated showdown was initially slated to take place last April 15 but was scrapped due to Adiwang contracting COVID-19.
Adiwang is fresh off a convincing unanimous decision win against MMA veteran Hexigetu weeks ago and just improved his professional record to 13-3.
The Filipino striker showed his well-rounded striking prowess against one of the highly-recognized MMA veterans in Hexigetu.
Now that he’s done with the task of overcoming Hexigetu, Adiwang will now have the chance to decode Brooks next month.
Holding a record of 16-2, Brooks is no stranger to the world of MMA, having stints in the WSOF, Pancrase, Rizin, Bellator, and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
