Lito Adiwang expects Rodtang to dominate at ONE 169

ONE strawweight MMA star Lito Adiwang is confident Rodtang will easily defend the 135-pound Muay Thai crown against Jacob Smith at ONE 169 because of Rodtang's domination of the United Kingdom star in May 2022.

Speaking exclusively with Sportskeeda MMA, 'Thunder Kid' stated:

"80 percent excited, because we've seen this before. If this was going to be their first encounter, maybe I'd get a little more excited because I want to find out what happens. But we all know who Rodtang is."

ONE 169 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
