Eko Roni Saputra Scores 19-Second Stoppage In Jakarta

Eko Roni Saputra defeats Kaji Ebin at ONE DAWN OF VALOR

Multi-time Indonesian National Wrestling Champion Eko Roni Saputra picked up his first win in ONE Championship with a surprising stoppage after just 19 seconds of action.

The 28-year-old faced Filipino Kaji “Alpha” Ebin in a flyweight mixed martial arts bout at ONE: DAWN OF VALOR on Friday, 25 October, but the Indonesian star did not get a chance to break a sweat in front of his compatriots.

The flyweights touched gloves as the action got underway at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta, and Ebin looked to establish his striking with a leg kick and then a right hand, which narrowly missed its mark.

Saputra countered with a right hand of his own, but he missed the target as “Alpha” evaded. The Filipino then reset himself and launched another right hand, which led to the bout-ending injury – a dislocated shoulder.
