He beat French fighter Florian Coudier, 16 years his junior, in one minute and 45 seconds at the Tigre Sports Club stadium, Buenos Aires. This completed Sangram\u2019s hat-trick of wins in MMA, following victories in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Amsterdam (Netherlands). Sharing how wrestling techniques helped him, Sangram says, \u201cI have been wrestling for the last 30-32 years. I am very fortunate that I started mitti kushti, then I got to play on the mat for the country. Then there was a time when there was no money in sports so I moved to professional wrestling. I became the Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion, world\u2019s best professional wrestler. MMA mein 70-80% wrestling hai. Toh kick, punch ya doosri technique chhod do, main wrestling ki technique use karta hun jaise uthana, girana, grip karna. That was the reason why this bout got over in that in 1 minute 40-45 seconds, this bout was over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/68418_1775464931799_1775464946288.jpg\" alt=\"Sangram Singh becomes first Indian MMA winner in Argentina\" title=\"Sangram Singh becomes first Indian MMA winner in Argentina\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" loading=\"eager\"\/>Sangram Singh becomes first Indian MMA winner in Argentina<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indian wrestler and MMA fighter Sangram Singh became the first Indian to win a Mixed Martial Arts fight&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585531,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,223613,157436,223657,638,65096,223656,65208,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-585530","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-florian-coudier","12":"tag-indian-mma-fighter","13":"tag-indian-wrestler-sangram-singh","14":"tag-mma","15":"tag-sangram-singh","16":"tag-sangram-singh-argentina-win","17":"tag-sangram-singh-mma","18":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585530","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585530"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585530\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585530"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585530"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585530"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
