It was a spectacle like few you’ve ever seen on an early UFC prelim fight.
Rogers Place in Edmonton rocked and rolled during unbeaten Arjan Bhullar’s debut Sept. 9 at UFC 215. The heavyweight from the Vancouver suburb of Richmond is the first Indian-Canadian competitor in UFC history, and he was cheered on by an arena filled with waving Indian flags and fans wearing turbans as Bhullar earned a convincing unanimous decision victory over Luis Henrique.
“I don’t think anyone debuted like that before on the second fight out, out of the card,” Bhullar said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
