Speaking to reporters in a post-fight media scrum at UFC 215 (via MMAjunkie), undefeated MMA fighter Arjan Bhullar discussed his win over Luis Henrique and helping the UFC break into the Indian market. Below are some highlights.

Bhullar on UFC wanting to break into the Indian market: “There’s over 1 billion in India – there’s over 3 billion around the world. But obviously, China and India reign supreme when it comes to markets, not only for the UFC, but any major sport is trying to crack the market.

Bhullar on why the UFC capitalize on the market: “NHL can’t do it – there’s no ice. NFL can’t do it because the equipment won’t make sense for those kids, and the game, they don’t understand. NBA has a chance, but they have no athletes. This is the one the people will understand. It’s a hybrid of wrestling. I want to crack that market for them and be the first, for sure, because the people want it.”
