Puja Tomar has become the first Indian to win a fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), defeating Brazil's Rayanne dos Santos at UFC Louisville 2024. The Indian fighter won by split decision, dominating the first round with powerful body kicks. Dos Santos fought back in the second round, but Puja's decisive push kick knockdown in the final round secured her victory. This historic win comes after Puja became the first Indian woman to secure a UFC contract last year. Her debut fight in the women's strawweight division has made her a trailblazer in Indian MMA.
