ONE Championship (ONE) has announced the full card for ONE: DANGAL, a tape-delayed event from the Singapore Indoor Stadium that airs on Saturday, 15 May.
In the main event, Filipino superstar Brandon “The Truth” Vera defends his ONE Heavyweight World Title against Indian wrestling champion Arjan “Singh” Bhullar. Other Indian athletes scheduled for action include atom weight phenom Ritu “The Indian Tigress” Phogat, Gurdarshan “Saint Lion” Mangat, and Roshan Mainam.
Reigning champion Brandon Vera noted: “As a fighter, I think Arjan Bhullar is one of the top athletes in ONE Championship. He has a great wrestling background. His boxing is amazing. He has a dangerous overhand right. We've been training for him, taking notes, and just drilling. He's very dangerous. He has great head movement, and he doesn't mind staying in the pocket. If you get too close to him, he'll grab your leg and take you down, and he'll ground-and-pound you. I give him the utmost respect.”
Meanwhile, Arjan had good words to share about Vera and states that people should give credit to the champion.
“I've grown so much over the last year, and I think that's going to be a huge difference in this fight. You have to give Brandon Vera credit. He's been around for a long time and faced the best of the best in this sport. He's been the ONE Heavyweight World Champion for many years for a good reason. He's finished everybody he's fought, so he's very dangerous. He's good everywhere,” he said.
Ritu Phogat, who is undefeated in her professional MMA carerer stated that Bi Nguyen is a dangerous opponent.
“It's a very important fight for my career and I'm fighting an opponent with a very strong stand-up game. Bi Nguyen is also more experienced than me. I believe that through this matchup, fans will get to see me showcase my striking skills but also use my wrestling skillset to my advantage." She said.
