Supporting Samoa’s Rising Talent in MMA
Return to Paradise Resort & Spa is thrilled to announce its sponsorship of local Samoan MMA fighter, Asomua Saili, as he represents Samoa at the upcoming 2024 GAMMA World Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia. Saili, the only competitor from Samoa who lives and trains locally, is one of 16 fighters from Samoa but uniquely holds the honor of embodying Samoa’s spirit from home soil as he steps onto the world stage.
Return to Paradise Resort has taken this unique opportunity to back Asomua Saili, showcasing the resort’s commitment to community support and pride in Samoa’s impressive ranking in international MMA. With Samoa ranked 6th globally, the nation’s fighters have proven to be fierce competitors, standing out on the world stage despite the country’s smaller size.
As part of this sponsorship, Return to Paradise Resort is covering Saili’s flights to Jakarta, ensuring that he can proudly represent his homeland. Resort Manager and Matriarch Afamasaga Ramona Su’a Gilchrist shared her excitement about the sponsorship, saying:
“We are very proud of Asomua and all he is achieving. Being the only competitor based in Samoa, it is important that he knows that we are all behind him. Our whole resort family is supporting him every step of the way.”
The GAMMA World Championships: Showcasing MMA Excellence
The 2024 GAMMA World Championships, hosted by PB PERTICAMI and endorsed by the Indonesian Olympic Committee, brings together over 500 athletes from 78 nations to compete for MMA glory.

PB PERTICAMI President Tommy Paulus Hermawan shared words of encouragement for all the competitors:
“To the athletes, this platform is for you to showcase your capabilities and demonstrate your strength, determination, and passion for the sport. We believe in you, and we will be honored to have you here, representing your countries and your dreams.”
Asomua’s Path to the Championship
