Canadian PM Justin Trudeau congratulated Arjan Bhullar on his recent success
Arjan Bhullar became the ONE heavyweight champion at ONE Championship: Dangal recently. Doing so, he became the first-ever fighter of Indian Origin to win a world title in MMA.
Bhullar, who was once a part of the UFC, made his switch from the biggest MMA promotion in the world to the ONE Championship in 2019. He faced Mauro Cerilli on his debut, beating him via. unanimous decision.
The victory earned him a title shot, but not before almost two years went by. Last week, he took on UFC veteran Brandon Vera for the heavyweight title and made light work of the Filipino-American.
Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau was an elated man, as he recently took to Twitter to congratulate Bhullar on his success.
Trudeau’s Tweet read:
“Canada’s own Arjan Singh Bhullar is the first fighter of South Asian descent to become an MMA world champion – congratulations, @TheOneASB! Whether at the Pan Am Games, the Commonwealth Games, or the Olympics, you’ve always competed with courage and made Canadians proud. Bravo.”
After clinching the heavyweight title, Bhullar interestingly called out WWE and AEW wrestlers. He warned that he was coming to get his hands on them.
Bhullar recently appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show and revealed the reason behind his callout. He stated that he meant his callout and wasn’t just playing around:
“We had these conversations before. This is something we wanted to do. No one has done both at the same time. And I wanted to be that guy. I want to do both…So that wasn’t just me making stuff up or whatever…This step is planned. I’m calling my shot for a reason. I called out the WWE, I called out the AEW, I called out the industry. The reason being is plain and simple…I wanna pick a fight with these guys.”
He also named a few wrestlers whom he had in his mind. He particularly called out Jake Hager who is signed to the AEW and Bobby Lashley, the current WWE champion.
It is worth noting that both are professional mixed martial artists.
