WWE News: Jinder Mahal Clarifies Statement about Indian MMA Fighter, Arjan Bhullar

When it comes to WWE and UFC promotions, they share quite a cordial relationship which is why we can see a friendly association between the superstars from both these companies. In a recent incident, we witnessed the WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal bonding with Arjan Bhullar, the UFC fighter.

Mahal is the reigning WWE Champion, at this point who is only the second Indian to hold the prestigious title. On the other hand, Arjan is the first-ever Indian MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter who had made it to the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). In case you don’t know, this is the biggest MA promotion in the whole world which conducts bigger PPV events like WWE.

A similar show will take place on September 9th at the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This will mark the UFC 215 event on that night in which Arjan Bhullar is scheduled to feature in a fight. He will take on Luis Henrique in a Heavyweight match inside the prestigious Octagon. Unlike the WWE, these fights are not scripted and considered as an acid test for the fighters.

In a previously published Youtube video, we could see Jinder Mahal and Arjan Bhullar having a good time while working out. It was the same source that stated that Jinder will accompany him while he will walk into the fight.

Now, this statement was clarified in a recent interview conducted by SportsKeeda.com. The WWE Champion confirmed that he will be present during the UFC 215 PPV but will not walk by Arjan’s side that night. These were his actual comments,

“Actually, it got reported a little bit wrong. Everybody said that I am going to walk Arjan Bhullar to the ring. I’m just going to be in attendance.”

It’s needless to say who Mahal will be rooting for on that night. He also revealed that how much he will cheer for his fellow countryman to win the bout. Here are further quotes from the WWE Champion,

“I will be there in attendance. I will be there cheering him on. So that’s my only involvement. You know, (he is a) good friend of mine. Also first Indian UFC fighter, so I’m very happy for that. I wish nothing but success to him. I will be there only cheering him on.”
