Chan Rothana Confident He Can Beat Eko Roni Saputra
Chan Rothana Confident He Can Beat Eko Roni Saputra

Chan Rothana isn’t the type of athlete who backs down from a challenge – especially from an Indonesian flyweight phenom.
The Cambodian mixed martial artist heard that “Dynamite” Eko Roni Saputra recently called him out for a future matchup, and he would love nothing more than to finish yet another rising star from the Southeast Asian country.
“I am happy to meet Eko Roni,” the 35-year-old Rothana says.
“I think he wants to gain redemption for his compatriots. He is as good as Rudy Agustian and Abro Fernandes. For this fight, I need to keep my perfect record against Indonesian fighters intact.”
Indeed, Rothana has a knack for stopping the meteoric rise of Indonesian mixed martial artists.
In December 2018 at ONE: DESTINY OF CHAMPIONS, the Cambodian Kun Khmer specialist squared off against then-undefeated Abro “The Black Komodo” Fernandes. After weathering an early storm, Rothana crumpled his foe with a knee and rained down punches to earn a second-round TKO victory.
The Phnom Penh native repeated the trick in May 2019, as he picked apart Rudy “The Golden Boy” Agustian to score another second-round TKO at ONE: FOR HONOR. In the process, he handed the surging Indonesian his first ONE Championship loss in front of his compatriots at the Jakarta Convention Center.
