Lito Adiwang eyes blockbuster fight with Demetrius Johnson

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

Since taking his legendary status from the UFC to ONE Championships, Demetrius Johnson, the current Flyweight World Grand Prix title-holder, has yet to drop a match.

Tagged to be the greatest pound-for-pound Mixed Martial Arts fighter in the history with a professional record of 30 wins and 3 losses, Johnson is every MMA fighters’ dream opponent.

However, for Team Lakay’s Lito Adiwang, facing Johnson would not only be an honor for him, but he and his training camp are already unlocking plans to take down the Flyweight king.

For Adiwang, he said that he can square off equally with the legendary Johnson and already has the game plan against him if given the chance to fight against Johnson.

“I think the key is controlling the match. As long as I don’t let him dictate the match and I control where the fight goes, I’m in good shape. The moment he gets in a groove, you literally have no chance of winning against him,” Adiwang said.

For the 27-year-old Filipino slugger, controlling the ring from start to end and making Johnson uncomfortable throughout the exchanges will be his keys to victories.

“My biggest advantage would be my mindset. I know he’s good at putting pressure on his opponents, especially the mental pressure because most of the people he faces are at a loss at what DJ can do,” Adiwang added.
