Kathmandu, Nepal – Rabindra Dhant, the formidable Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter hailing from the remote district of Bajhang, has once again etched his name in the annals of Nepali combat sports history. In a recent electrifying performance in India, Dhant triumphed over his opponent, Chungreng Koren, securing a prestigious championship title and further solidifying his reputation as a rising star in the MMA world.

Dhant’s journey is an inspiring tale of dedication and perseverance. His formal education concluded after the 10th grade, leading him to seek work opportunities in India.

This victory marks another significant milestone in his burgeoning career, further elevating his status within the Indian and South Asian MMA scene.

Behind Dhant’s success is not only his relentless training at esteemed gyms like Lock and Roll MMA in Nepal and Soma Fight Club in Bali, along with valuable training stints in Thailand, but also the dedicated efforts of those supporting his journey. Notably, Sisan Baniya, the influential Nepali content creator and founder of Paradygm TV, has played a crucial role in documenting and publicizing Dhant’s inspiring story. Through his vlogs and the acclaimed documentary series “Bajhang Ko Bhag” (The Tiger of Bajhang), Baniya has provided an intimate look into Dhant’s life, from his humble beginnings to his burgeoning success in the competitive world of MMA. Baniya’s commitment extends beyond documentation, as he remains an integral part of Dhant’s core fight team, traveling and providing support.
