Puja tomar

UFC Senior Vice President: Mixed martial arts athlete, Puja "The Cyclone" Tomar, made her UFC debut as India's first female fighter in UFC, and scored a victory to make history by becoming the first Indian fighter to register a win inside the UFC octagon.

Tomar who hails from Uttar Pradesh, faced Rayanne dos Santos at strawweight in the very first bout of the card. She and dos Santos went all three rounds: 15 minutes of grueling, fast-paced back-and-forth action.

"I want to show the world that Indian fighters are not losers. We are going all the way up! We are not going to stop! We'll become a UFC champion soon! This win is not my win, it's for all Indian fans and all Indian fighters. I walked out to my Indian song with the Indian flag, and I felt so proud.
