New Delhi, Oct 21 (UNI) Indian wrestler-turned-MMA fighter Sangram Singh is set to compete at FightStar Championship 39 in London on December 19, 2026.
The event will take place at indigo at The O2, where Sangram is scheduled to face Malta's Wallochon in a bout billed as a Commonwealth title contest. According to a press release, Sangram, a former two-time Commonwealth Heavyweight Wrestling Champion, has successfully transitioned to mixed martial arts (MMA), building an unbeaten professional record of four wins.
He made his MMA debut in September 2024, defeating Pakistan's Ali Raza Nasir in 90 seconds at the GAMA International Fighting Championship in Georgia. He subsequently secured victories over Tunisia's Hakim Trabelsi and France's Florian Coudier before claiming the STRIKE Asia Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In his most recent outing on July 19 this year, Sangram defeated Pakistan's Mohammed Abid Ali by knockout in just 80 seconds to win the STRIKE Asia Championship, further strengthening his standing on the international MMA circuit.
Speaking about his upcoming contest, Sangram Singh said, "Age is just a number. What matters is your discipline, dedication and willingness to keep challenging yourself. I am happy to represent India on the global stage and continue this journey in mixed martial arts." "This will also be my first visit to London, which makes the occasion even more special for me. I want to give my best inside the cage and inspire young Indians to believe that it is never too late to pursue a new dream," he added. Sangram's journey from professional wrestling to MMA has attracted attention, particularly because of the challenges involved in entering a new combat sport at the age of 40.
