Under the Spotlight, a Village Boy from Gorontalo Won by KO in 47 Seconds — and Changed the Future of MMA in Indonesia
The Indonesian Mixed Martial Arts Association (PERTACAMI) held the 2026 National MMA Championship (Kejurnas) in Jakarta, an event for discovering young talents from 12 provinces, including remote areas such as Gorontalo, East Nusa Tenggara, and West Kalimantan. The event, which took place from April 15–19, 2026, was not just a competition but also a test of an inclusive geographical and social class-based athlete development system. With support from the Ministry of Youth and Sports and collaboration with 37 local affiliated clubs, this Kejurnas became a turning point for the regeneration of contact sports in Indonesia, while accelerating the official recognition of MMA as a national competitive sport.
