Sangram Singh, a 39-year-old wrestler, actor and husband of actress Payal Rohatgi, has made history by becoming the first Indian man to win a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight at the Gama International Fighting Championship in Tbilisi, Georgia. In the final, Sangram faced Pakistan’s Ali Raza Nasir, who is 17 years younger than him. Despite the age difference, Sangram won the match in just one minute and 30 seconds, making India proud.
After the win, Sangram said, “Winning isn’t just about defeating your opponent, it’s about overcoming your own limits. Age doesn’t matter when you have determination and the will to succeed.” Competing in the 93 Kg weight category, Sangram showed that experience and mental strength can be more powerful than youth.
Sangram Singh is already well-known for his success in wrestling. He won the Commonwealth Heavyweight Wrestling Championship and has represented India many times internationally. What makes his story even more inspiring is how he overcame health problems when he was younger. Sangram suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and was once unable to walk. However, he fought back and became a champion wrestler, showing incredible determination and strength.
Apart from wrestling, Sangram Singh is also a fitness icon in India. He motivates millions of people to live healthier lives as part of the government’s Fit India Movement. He is also the brand ambassador for campaigns like Viksit Bharat and Swacch Bharat, making him a role model for the youth of India.
