Lito Adiwang made a huge statement during his comeback fight at ONE Friday Fights 34.

The ‘Thunder Kid’ defeated Adrian "Papua Badboy" Mattheis via technical knockout in just 23 seconds. More than this emphatic victory, it was about overcoming his inner demons which came from a series of unfortunate events for Adiwang.

These series of setbacks, alongside the injury, led to him sitting out for 18 months, and it was the sole reason why he was nervous during his return to the ring. But the Igorot rising star, who is now under Indonesia’s Hiit Studio, overcame the odds as he successfully torched his opponent in less than 30 seconds, and motivating him were the events that he said he never wants to experience ever again.

“Lahat ng nangyari sa akin ang nakapag-boost ng confidence ko para di na ulit yun mangyari. Kaya talagang pinush ako na once mag-comeback ako, walang rason na matatalo tayo.”
