Singh is set to go head-to-head against Pakistan's Ali Raza Nasir at the Gama International Fighting Championship, scheduled to take place on September 21, 2024, at Heroes Square in Tbilisi, Georgia.
This significant milestone signifies Sangram Singh's transition from the realm of wrestling, where he has achieved success on both national and international stages, to the challenging world of MMA. His debut represents not only a personal pursuit but also a crucial step towards elevating the stature of Indian athletes in the global combat sports arena.
