At the time Kandare saw a two year ban. Although that ban ended in November 2020, he has yet to make his appearance at the UFC.
As of now Kandare hasn’t released any statement regarding anything and his profile is still active on the website.
If you’re wondering about the social media presence of the Indian fighter, let us tell you, the fighter, who was born on June 20, 1989, does not seem to have any social media platform.
Let us remind you, in early 2020, an Indian website appealed for financial support after the bantamweight revealed that 5’7″ tall fighter was struggling financially ahead of his possible return to the UFC.
Although the fighter was supposed to return in early 2021, he revealed that he might not be returning to the UFC as his mother isn’t keeping well.
In his statement, the 33-year-old fighter stated “I’m currently alone with my mother and she is not keeping well. I cannot leave her and go to fight.
“Hence, I will be taking a break from fighting for three or four years. And If I feel that I can get back into the cage after that long break, I might get back.”
Kandare, who is also known by nickname “Daring,” hasn’t fought since 2017 and presently he is on his break from the sport.
As per a report by the Sherdog, the player who weighs 145 lbs has so far appeared in a total of 8 fights, out of them he won 5 and loss three. He is associated with the Superhuman Gym under the class of Featherweight.
While his net worth isn’t known, the beginner-level contract at UFC which Bharat is under pays an athlete US$ 10,000 for every fight, plus another US$ 10,000 if they win.
Bharat Kandare Record: 5-3-0.
