Arjan Bhullar after winning the ONE Heavyweight Championship
ONE championship heavyweight champion Arjan Bhullar has been very vocal about joining pro-wrestling promotions like the WWE and AEW
Canadian MMA star, Arjan Bhullar became the ONE Championship heavyweight champion at ONE Championship: Dangal which concluded a fortnight ago. He beat former UFC veteran Brandon Vera via. TKO in the second round.
Bhullar thereby became the first person of Indian origin to win a world MMA title. He received a lot of accolades and laurels following his victory.
Even Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau was full of praises for his countryman.
Bhullar made an interesting call-out after his title win against Vera, at the post-fight interview. He put the pro-wrestling industry on high alert claiming that he was coming for them.
A week later, Bhullar was asked in an interview with Ariel Helwani, if he meant those callouts. Without hesitation, Bhullar revealed that pro-wrestling has been something that he wanted to do for ages.
And now, in an interview with Damon Martin of MMA Fighting, Bhullar has revealed a few notable names from the WWE and AEW, who we would like to “pick a fight with.”
“Like I said, I’m picking a fight with these guys. Whether it’s Jon Moxley, the top guy over there, the Inner Circle, the Bellator fighter who’s supposed to be blood and guts [Jake Hager]. I’ll go up against [Scott] Coker’s guy no problem or whether that’s Coker’s guy in WWE, Bobby Lashley. He thinks it’s the ‘Mighty’ era, no it’s my era. I’ll call out any of these guys. If it’s [Chris] Jericho, I’ll retire him like I did Vera.” [via MMA Fighting]
Arjan Bhullar was a freestyle wrestler and hence he often catches up with former UFC heavyweight champ, Daniel Cormier, who was a renowned wrestler during his early career.
Bhullar recently shared a throwback picture from the American Kickboxing Academy Gym, alongside Cormier.
He captioned the post:
“If you live among wolves you have to act like a wolf. #throwbackthursday to a session at the house of champions @americankickboxingacademy among all time greats. Can’t wait to get back to the bay!”
Bhullar is also good friends with professional wrestler Jinder Mahal, who also is a Canadian of Indian origin.
