Eko Roni Saputra (born 2 May 1991) is an Indonesian mixed martial artist competing in the Flyweight division of ONE Championship.[1] He trains out of Evolve MMA in Singapore.[2]

Saputra is also a former freestyle wrestler who has won bronze and silver medals at the Southeast Asian Games in 2009 and 2013.[3][4][5] He has also competed in the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta in the 57kg division.[6]

Background

Saputra grew up in poverty in Samarinda on the island of Borneo. His parents sold fish in the market and his father became a boxing coach after his fish-trading business went bankrupt. Hence he started training boxing when he was just 5 years old and at the age of 13 years old, he switched to wrestling because my father said there was a greater opportunity to become a national champion.[7][8][9][10]

Saptura would win at the Southeast Asian Games, getting bronze at the 2009 Southeast Asian Games at 50 kg and silver at the 2013 Yangon at 55 kg. In 2018, he decided to transition to MMA and relocated to Singapore to pursue his new career, joining the Evolve MMA.[7][8][11]
