The attempt to emulate the idol Alex Poatán cost Indonesian fighter Rakha Maulana Muhtadi dearly. With a Indian headdress and an arrow, the athlete entered the ONE Pride MMA octagon with the intention of surprising. However, the bold strategy was not enough to overcome Ferdian Paleka, who knocked him out in the first round.
Rakha's boldness did not translate into success inside the cage. Ferdian Paleka, more experienced and calculating, knew how to take advantage of his opponent's exposure and took him to the ground, mounted him and connected strong blows until the referee stopped him.
