Eko Roni Saputra Berharap Gulat dan MMA Indonesia Makin Unjuk Gigi di Level Dunia

  • Eko Roni Saputra berambisi memajukan olahraga MMA dan gulat di Indonesia.
  • MMA dan gulat Indonesia kurang kompetisi, baik yang berskala nasional apalagi internasional.
  • Atlet MMA dan gulat Indonesia seharusnya banyak dikirim ke turnamen besar dunia. 

SKOR.id - Eko Roni Saputra sangat termotivasi untuk meningkatkan olahraga gulat dan MMA di Indonesia.

Sebagai eks pegulat nasional yang menggeluti dunia MMA di ONE Championship, Eko mengaku khawatir dengan kedua olahraga itu.

Motivasi petarung asal Samarinda itu makin tinggi saat tahu bahwa gulat dan MMA Indonesia masih dianggap sebelah mata oleh dunia.

"Saya ingin memajukan olahraga MMA dan gulat," ujar Eko kepada awak media dalam konferensi pers secara daring pada Jumat (14/10/2022).

"Suatu hari saya akan memajukan gulat. Hati kecil saya, sebagai Warga Negera Indonesia, terketuk, Indonesia ternyata belum dipandang negara lain. Jadi, makin menggebu-gebu."

Salah satu hal, menurut Eko, yang membuat gulat dan MMA kurang populer di Indonesia adalah kurangnya kompetisi.

Selain itu, tidak banyak atlet dari kedua cabang olahraga tersebut yang tampil di ajang internasional.

Alhasil, dunia internasional tidak begitu melihat potensi besar yang ada di gulat dan MMA Indonesia saat ini.

"Kompetisi MMA di Indonesia sangat kurang. Tertinggal jika dibandingkan dengan negara-negara seperti Jepang," ujarnya menambahkan.

"Mereka (Jepang) banyak mengikuti kompetisi di luar (negeri). Kalau di Indonesia banyakan di lokal saja. Bahkan mereka yang memanggil petarung dari luar."

"Sebenarnya kalau kita (orang Indonesia) yang bertanding di negara orang maka kita akan terkenal karena ditonton oleh orang banyak. Apalagi MMA. Itu akan sangat berpengaruh."

Pria yang kini menetap di Singapura tersebut berharap kompetisi gulat tidak hanya kejuaraan nasional tetapi merambah ajang lain yang lebih bergengsi di mata dunia.

"Apalagi gulat. Setahun sekali dan itu pun kejuaraan nasional. Tidak ada kejuaraan internasional. Bagaimana mau dikenal orang, ya kan?" kata Eko lagi.

"Saya tidak mau menjelekkan olahraga nasional. Namun, ya kalau ingin olahraga ini dikenal oleh banyak orang ketika ada kejuaraan besar kita harus berpartisipasi."

Saat ini, Eko tengah mempersiapkan diri untuk pertarungan melawan Yodkaikaew Fairtex asal Thailand dalam laga MMA divisi flyweight di ONE 162.

Ajang tersebut akan berlangsung Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia pada 21 Oktober mendatang.
