The pride of Indian mixed martial arts is back home after dethroning Brandon (The Truth) Vera in Singapore to win One Championship's heavyweight title.
And for Arjan Singh Bhullar, home is Richmond, B.C.
"Richmond born and raised," the former Canadian Olympic wrestler said proudly.
One Championship's spotlight shines mainly on the Asia market, however. So Bhullar's Indian bloodlines take centre stage when he fights under its banner.
