JAKARTA - A sweet achievement was achieved by two Indonesian fighters at ONE Championship which took place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Singapore, Friday, March 11, evening local time. In the match titled ONE: LIGHTS OUT, Adrian Mattheis and Eko Roni Saputra, managed to silence their opponent.

Adrian Mattheis even made a surprise by defeating former world Strawweight champion, Alex Silva. The victory that was achieved also felt special because it was able to win by KO.

With this victory, the fighter who was nicknamed Papua Badboy collected a 9-5 record with 8 wins obtained via KO (4) and lockdown (4).

"Thank God, I was given the opportunity to fight my idol and win," said Adrian Mattheis after the match, as quoted by Antara.

The match between Adrian Matteis and Alex Silva was tight from the first round. The two even had a fight before the Brazilian fighter was able to master the situation. However, the Indonesian fighter was able to release the opponent's pressure.

In the second round, the match became even more intense. Adrian, who has a high desire to beat his idol, continued to press and had a chance to land a heavy blow to Alex Silva. The blow knocked the opponent down.

On that occasion, Adrian continued to hit Alex Silva's head and until finally the referee stopped the fight. Adrian was declared victorious by KO in the second round even though Alex Silva had protested to the referee who led the match.

Meanwhile, Eko Roni Saputra also performed well so he was able to beat the representative from Cambodia, Chan Rothana. It didn't take long for the fighter from Samarinda to beat his opponent. He won in just one minute 41 seconds in the first round.

What was achieved by Eko Roni Saputra was indeed according to predictions. The fighter nicknamed the Dynamite fights calmly and occasionally does his hard punches.

As soon as the opponent shakes, Eko Roni Saputra immediately presses and with a position behind Chan, the Indonesian wrestling champion performs a neck lock. Although he had survived, the Cambodian fighter finally gave up.

This result adds to Eko Roni Saputra's long list of victories at ONE Championship. Not only that, a victory over Chan Rothana is predicted to increase his ranking and have the opportunity to fight the top five in the flyweight division.
