ONE Championship: Arjan Bhullar signs new contract, will fight ‘multiple times a year’ and compete in pro wrestling
- Heavyweight champion says his new deal is unprecedented in combat sports and now hopes to fight ‘ASAP’
- ‘It’s been too long,’ the Indian-Canadian says – ‘time to remind some people who the king of the jungle is’
ONE Championship heavyweight king Arjan Bhullar has signed a new contract with the promotion – and he says it is the first of its kind.
The Indian-Canadian, 35, shared the news about his new deal with ONE soon after the Asian martial arts organisation unveiled its new 5-year US broadcast deal with Amazon’s Prime Video.
He also shed some light on the terms of the contract, claiming it is unlike any other in combat sports history.
“I’ve signed a new contract with ONE Championship that will have me fighting multiple times in the year,” Bhullar wrote on Instagram. “I’m also free to jump into the squared circle of professional wrestling between fights. Never been done before … Never been allowed before.
“It’s been too long, time to remind some people who the king of the jungle is. Hoping the company gets my date fixed ASAP and maybe you’ll be able to catch me on Amazon Prime.”
Bhullar went on to thank his management firm, CAA Combat Sports, and ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
CAA Combat Sports also made a statement on Bhullar’s new deal, echoing the heavyweight’s claim that it is unprecedented in the combat sports industry.
