The Title Main Event
Sanjeet comes into the fight with a professional record of 10-2 to his name and is training out of Warrior’s Cove MMA for his title defence. The Indian had defended his title successfully against Shyamanand at MFN 13 and before that, he had secured a win over Atabek Abdimitalipov as well.
Badakhshi, on the other hand, is undefeated in MFN and had a win over Hae Jin Park at MFN 13. He had also secured wins at MFN 8 and MFN 7 earlier which got him a title shot.

A seasoned veteran, Farhad comes in with a wealth of experience and also holds a knockout win over current Bantamweight Champion Uloomi Karim.
