He got one step closer to signing a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship over the weekend at the UFC Performance Institute Shanghai after stopping John Dave Almanza of the Philippines via knockout in Road To UFC Season 3.

Despite Almanza’s outstanding stand-up routine in the flyweight tournament opening, the referee interrupted the fight to give Angad a first-round TKO because Angad was simply too strong on the ground.
Who is Angad Bisht?
Angad Bisht is an Indian fighter who participates in a flyweight category and held his last fight on May 19, 2024 in RUFC. He was born in June 5, 1995 in Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand. He measures 5’7″ (170cm) and weighs 124.3 lbs.
With a 9-3 record to his name, Angad’s introduction to mixed martial arts was far from smooth. He has been steadily making his way up the Indian MMA ladder. He started training in his own gym at Mutant MMA Academy in Uttarakhand.
Angad has several fighters including three professional MMA fighters and a few amateur ones in his gym from different locations including North East, Haryana, Mumbai, Delhi, Kumaon and Garhwal.
Angad had originally sought a profession in medicine with support from his family. After realising that this was not his vocation, he chose to pursue a physically demanding pursuit.
He worked a part-time job at a gym during the day and devoted his evenings to his training when he first began mixed martial arts in Delhi, as per News 18.
After just six months of training, he entered amateur fights, won titles from multiple organisations, and now has the chance to advance to the major leagues. Angad is willing to become the first champion from India with his goal to make it to UFC.
