After a year-and-a-half away from Asia, the UFC is making its return to the region next weekend in Singapore — the site of its Eastern hemisphere HQ. But for the UFC and other top Asian MMA promotions, it’s no secret that winning the war for continental supremacy hinges on the market’s pair of billion-person populations in China and India. However, when it comes to India, the UFC may have just secured its secret weapon: undefeated heavyweight Arjan Bhullar (6-0), a former Olympic wrestler and the promotion's first fighter of Indian Sikh descent. “I’m a product of every immigrant that comes over and sacrifices,” Bhullar said. “We hope to not lose that history, but also build on it and continue making our community and the world a better place.”
