Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Eko Roni Saputra is ready to fly the Indonesian flag again in ONE Championship. The fighter from Samarinda will be challenged by Hu Yong from China in a flyweight fight at ONE Fight Night 15. This fight will be held at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand, Saturday (7/10/2023).
Originally, Hu Yong was scheduled to fight against Danny Kingad. However, due to injury, the Filipino fighter was forced to withdraw.
This will be Eko Roni’s second fight in 2023. Back in February, the Indonesian MMA star faced Kingad at ONE Fight Night 7. Even though he has already recorded seven straight wins, he has to admit Kingad’s superiority.
This match will be a golden opportunity for Eko Roni to raise his rank at flyweight. Defeating Hu Yong could be a strong foothold for him to attempt to break into the top five ONE Championship.
Eko Roni, who is known for his skills in submission, must be looking to avenge his defeat last February. His experience when he defeated Liu Peng Shuai, Hu Yong’s compatriot, in just 10 seconds was certainly a valuable experience.
