Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Argentina, April 6 (NationPress) Indian MMA sensation Sangram Singh etched his name in history at Buenos Aires by becoming the first Indian to seize an MMA victory on Argentine territory. He showcased an impressive performance, overcoming French competitor Florian Coudier in just one minute and 45 seconds at the bustling Tiger Sports Club stadium.
This win marked Sangram's third straight MMA victory, following his previous successes in Tbilisi and Amsterdam. His robust wrestling background played a vital role in this bout, allowing him to control the rhythm and secure a swift submission.
After the match, Sangram expressed, “I either win or I learn. Passion knows no age. This accomplishment fulfills my dream of being the first Indian to triumph in an MMA fight in Argentina.” He also extended his gratitude to his long-time coach Bhupesh and recognized the support from fans both in India and abroad.
The road to the fight was not easy; just two days prior, Sangram was 600 grams over the weight limit. However, through rigorous discipline and extensive training, he successfully made the weight in the 83 kg category, despite immense physical and mental strain.
The contest began with both fighters exchanging early blows, but Sangram's wrestling instincts soon took charge. Capitalizing on an opportunity, he brought the fight to the mat and executed a submission maneuver that compelled the referee to halt the match.
Commenting on the milestone, Aneesh Gautam, Co-Founder and Director of Talent at LegaXy, stated, “This is a landmark achievement for Indian MMA. Sangram's victories across three continents illustrate the growing readiness of Indian combat sports athletes to compete and win on a global scale.”
Sangram attributed his success to mental discipline and a steadfast routine that incorporates yoga and pranayama. He encouraged aspiring athletes to remain committed and relentless in chasing their ambitions.
He also acknowledged the efforts of the organizers at Samurai Fight House, including Ritu Chhabria, Jitendra Singh, Devbrat Sarkar, Nitin Agarwal, Manoj Atri, Sanjeev Gupta, and the entire support team, crediting them for their crucial role in helping him reach this significant milestone.
