This is the Excitement of Kemal Pahlevi, Ge Pamungkas, and Max Metino Watching UFC 306 Together

This is evidence that UFC is no longer seen merely as an entertaining sports show. More than just a fighting event, the UFC craze has swept through various circles of public figures, ranging from athletes, fighters, fans, to celebrities.

One or two celebrities who witnessed the history of UFC 306 at the Sphere are the couple Muhammad Pradana Budiarto, better known as Ditto Percussion, and Ayudia Bing Slamet. Through their social media accounts, it was revealed that this was actually their second experience watching a UFC match live.

Previously, they had watched UFC in Singapore. Present at UFC 306, Ditto showcased the stunning grandeur of the Sphere screen on his social media account along with a brief comment.   ”Best Octagon Visual!” Ditto Percussion stated in his written remarks on Friday (20/9).

The interest of the Indonesian public in MMA continues to grow along with the development of the UFC community in the country. The UFC 306 event attracted the attention of several celebrities who attended the Watch Party Mola at various locations in Jakarta.

Celebrities like comedian Kemal Palevi, Ge Pamungkas, and BJJ Indonesia expert Max Metino joined a watch party with the MMA community in Jakarta. At Plataran Senayan, actors Fina Phillipe, Daffa Wardhana, as well as content creators Roy Ricardo and Bintang Emon, also attended to watch UFC 306 with friends and the general public.

In fact, long before UFC 306 took place, Fina and Daffa already felt the euphoria early. Both posted their training sessions and tried some techniques that are characteristic of the fighters in UFC 306.

Fina practiced the rear naked choke technique like Alexa Grasso. Daffa, who won gold at the FBJJI Indonesia Open 2023, practiced the guillotine technique from Brian Ortega. “Grasso is one of my favorite fighters. Even though she lost, I always support female fighters in the UFC,” said Fina.

"Ortega's guillotine technique when he was almost winning against Volkanovski motivated me to try it in training sessions," Daffa concluded.
