MMA Indonesia Prints History Of SEA Games 2025 Gold Sabet Through Dwi Ani Retno Wulan

JAKARTA Dwi Ani Retno Wulan's mixed combat athlete successfully brought home a gold medal for the Indonesian contingent as well as delivering mixed martial arts (MMA) to make history in the 2025 Thailand SEA Games.

Wulan, as he is familiarly called, stood on the highest podium of the biennial multi-pronged sporting event after stopping Thi Thanh Binh Duong from Vietnam in the final event number -54 kg on Thursday, December 11, 2025.

"Alhamdulillah. I am only carrying out the coach's instructions. As for strategy, the coach who thinks, I just have to execute. I believe in the coach and myself," said Wulan in a statement received in Jakarta.

The match was tight, but Wulan appeared dominant from the start. Careful preparation, disciplined strategy, and efficient engineering execution are key to victory in the stressful match.

This gold medal is an important achievement in Wulan's career, especially since he managed to make history for mixed combat sports, which for the first time was a match at the Southeast Asian nation's sporting event.

In addition to gold from Wulan, mixed fighting sports also donated silver medals from the modern -54 kilogram class in the name of Vallensia Fahira Hotmauli and the women's modern -60 kilogram class on behalf of Maydrise Sitepu.

In addition, the silver medal was also presented by Alifan Bagus Fernanda who competed in the men's traditional -56 kg class. He had to admit the superiority of the host representative Norachart Sutharang who won in the final round.

Next, Alfiandi also received silver after admitting Ngoc Luong Tran from Vietnam in the modern class -60 kilograms of men and Albert who fell in the modern class -65 kilograms of men won bronze medals.

However, Wulan's gold medal is not included in the medal tally in the standings because the mixed fighting sport is included in the category of value creation event (equibition).
