First Indian Female UFC Fighter Puja Tomar Set for Octagon Debut

UFC
March 22, 2024
Puja Tomar is set to create history by becoming the first female Indian fighter to step inside the Octagon.

Tomar (8-4) will make her promotional debut in a strawweight matchup against Rayanne Amanda dos Santos (14-7) at a UFC Fight Night event set to go down on June 8. The booking was first reported by Tomar’s management firm, First Round Management Europe.

Tomar is currently riding a four-fight winning streak, which includes three finishes. “The Cyclone” defended her Matrix Fight Night strawweight title with a finish of Russia’s Anastasia Feofanova in her most recent outing at MFN 12 in July 2023.

Meanwhile, Amanda came up short against Denise Gomes during a Dana White’s Contender Series appearance in August 2022. She then racked up three consecutive wins on the regional circuit to earn a call from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where she dropped a split decision against Talita Alencar in her debut back in December.
