Singh wins over judges at Unified 50, secures first win

In the first round, Singh devastated his opponent with a barrage of uppercuts. At one point, he briefly stunned Auigbelle with a combo. Singh then dragged Auigbelle to the mat and attempted to sink in a choke hold, but Auigbelle was able to escape.

In the second round, Singh was once again able to take down his opponent, but again was unable to get his opponent to tap.

“It was not frustrating for me because I know he worked hard for that fight,” Singh explained, adding he regained confidence after bloodying his opponent’s face with multiple punches.

Reflecting on his preparation for the fight, Singh explained his coach in Saskatoon taught him lots of striking strategies. Singh noted he has also been working hard on his jiu-jitsu.

“I had planned to finish this fight by choking my opponent. So I was working hard in ground game,” he said.

Prior to moving to Saskatoon last year, Singh lived in Prince Albert for four years and trained at North Wake Martial Arts under head instructor Lucian Phillips.

When asked what’s next, Singh, whose MMA record is now 1-1, said he is hoping to fight at the end of May in the United States or Alberta .

“It was a good experience to fight in the big stage. I know it’s not easy work. You could get hurt really bad and get injured in the cage. But I’m ready for everything. These dangers won’t be able to make me step back,” he said.
