Dubai Pro Wrestling Championship: Sangram Singh recently announced his intentions to become the first Indian male athlete to enter the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) at the age of 38.

The former WWP Commonwealth heavyweight champion spoke to IANS in an exclusive conversation to discuss his journey, why he took such a huge step this late in his career, what motivates him, and how he plans to dive into Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the future.

"I am just starting off. I believe UFC and MMA are sisters. I was approached by UFC as well but I believe I should start with MMA, as it is basically the same thing. Like in wrestling, there is Greco-Roman and freestyle. When it comes to representing your country, it does not matter where you do it, so surely, UFC is in my future plans as well.
