Mansher Khera | BJJ Heroes

Mansher Khera, also known as "Munch" is a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt of Sikh descent, being the first grappler produced from white to black belt by the legendary Marcelo Garcia. Khera arrived at the black belt division midway through 2015 being already regarded as one of the hottest...

For those unaware, Khera received his BJJ black belt from Marcelo Garcia in 2015, and was considered one of the best BJJ athletes in the world in the 2010s.

He's currently 9-0 as a pro in MMA, and the reigning Fury FC champ. Very surprise signing for Road to UFC. Frankly expected to see him on DWCS last year given his credentials.

If he does well and ends up getting a title shot (or winning the title) I wonder if UFC will do a show in India?
 
This guy popped up on my radar recently, he seems really interesting.

I'm a fan. His style reminds me a lot of Beneil Dariush.

It really is a good comparison.

Elite grappler who prefers to stand and bang. Looks very wild and untechnical at first glance, but is surprisingly effective and powerful with his striking.
 
Are Indians even good at MMA? Let's be real

Here I am, thinking we've just uncovered Asia's greatest fighter - the "Punjabi Prince".

Born: New York.
Fighting out of: New Jersey.

Lovely stuff.

If he had been born in India and grew up there he'd be a terrible fighter sadly.

I mean they have a pretty shitty culture regarding sports. Parents often discourage children from sports or physical activity and spend the whole day in front a book like a muppet. Been told this by an indian. On the contrary more aggressive culture like in Caucasus and other muslim areas produce good boxers or fighters and in some case even the wrestling GOAT(Abdul Rashid Saulaev). I recently learned that a guy challenged Muhammad (the prophet) and converted to Islam after losing the wrestling match so cultural stuff like this helps a lot . Similarly west maintains great emphasis on sports and physical activity hence their overrepresentation and they western sports history goes even deeper than the muslims in form of Pankration and ancient Olympics and highland games etc. Indian teens need to tell their parent to shut up when they stop them from doing sports. Its the only way imo if they want greater rep at higher levels like the rest of the world

Sadly, I mainly remember him as the guy who Marcelo booted alongside Danis...

Indians that immigrated in the 70s and 80s didn't value sports. In my parents' case, they didn't value it, didn't know the options, and if they did, they wouldn't have been able to afford them. Us Indians that were raised in the countries our parents immigrated to do value sports and athletics, and by and large, can afford to pay for them. We all do encourage and enrol our children in sports. We'll eventually have Indian representation in the major sports. The Toronto Blue Jays' top prospect (86th in MLB) is Arjun Nimmala, who's parents are Indian immigrants. It'll be slow, but it's starting.
