Training under Silas Maynard from Fighters Unite-Shanghai, 21 year old Chinese prospect Liu Si Cong will be bringing everything to the cage in his debut MMA fight against undefeated Gurdarshan Mangat.
Cong said: “I see this as a fight of the night contender. An undefeated fighter vs me - a fighter with a great chin and the biggest heart. I like to push my opponent so hard it breaks their will. Win or lose, I think we will give the fans a fight to remember and talk about. A win for me would be huge. It would open up the Chinese market to an outside of China event. “
Hailing from British Columbia, Canada and fighting out of Mamba MMA, former amateur 145lb. championGurdarshan ‘Saint Lion’ Mangat (Gary Mangat) (2 – 0) is widely recognized as one of Canadian MMA’s brightest talents. Regularly invited to train with MMA legends such as Georges St Pierre and Kenny Florian in Montreal, Mangat has set his sights on becoming a legend in his own right and is delighted to be able to do so in his motherland of India.
Mangat said: “I’m coming to showcase the most complete version of myself in my motherland. I’ve dreamt of it, now I will show it. I am looking to open people’s eyes and show them that I am the best Indian talent out there. I have been training with some of the best MMA fighters in the world. I am ready. Be ready to witness a statement. “
Kultar Singh Gill [India] vs Quinton Arendse [South Africa] [80 kg catchweight]
33 year old Indian-Canadian Kultar "Black Mamba" Gill (10 – 8) is back after a after a four year hiatus and looking to make an impact. Holding both the Canadian Muay Thai and Pacific North West Championship belts at just 17 years old, Gill went on to fight in K-1 and Dream, earning a reputation as MMA’s standout Indian expatriate for over 10 years. A prison warden by day, Gill guarantees to bring an exciting fight.
Gill said: “I want India to know that come May 6th I will be going into this fight like an animal hunting its prey. Death is just another state of existence, so I plan to introduce my opponent to it. My game plan is simple; shin meets face and sleepy-sleepy time. After the smoke clears the audience can cheer me as their new favourite fighter.”
Facing up to Gill is South African Quinton Arendse (1 – 1), a jiu-jitsu expert that has been training in MMA for 20 years. A former competitor in Deep, Arendse has been keeping busy since his last official MMA bout in 2006 by fighting on local shows in his adopted home of Hong Kong and competing in grappling and kickboxing contests. Arendse jumped at the opportunity of fighting in India, seeing himself as an MMA missionary helping the sport to grow all around the world.
Arendse said: “I am very excited about fighting in India. Kultar and I are both experienced fighters so it will definitely make for an exciting contest - there will be constant action. I have been training hard and I know there will be a lot of people watching so I am going to give it my all. The fans of India will enjoy this fight.”
