Korouhenba Urungpurel (Manipur) vs Lekraj Bagde (Maharashtra) | Kids MMA | Warriors Dream | India

The youngest MMA fighter from Manipur, Korouhenba Urungpurel shined at the Warrior’s Dream Series MMA event which was held in Pune last day.
Korouhenba, who represented RMX MMA Manipur gym, trains under Indian MMA star and former ONE Championship fighter Roshan Mainam and was the centre of attraction throughout the fight week in Pune. The young fighter who captured the attention of the fans with his mohawk immediately impressed everyone during the weigh-ins with his intensity.
The kid's super fight opened the main card of Warrior’s Dream Series on 23 June 2022 at the Sativ Patil Sports in Pune and ask expected, the fight had the fans excited throughout. The young Manipuri fighter, who came in with the experience of fighting in his home state previously, made quick work of his opponent.
He was on the front foot from the start itself and took down his opponent immediately. Korouhenba then landed punches from the mount before the referee Kushal Vyas stepped in to stop the fight.
Warrior’s Dream Series happened in Pune and the event was hosted by Cobra Thai gym under the guidance of Richard Rozalewicz and is partnered with Fit and Fight Club in Navi Mumbai.
The event was sanctioned by Navi Mumbai Mixed Martial Arts Association (NMMMAA) led by President Sanjivan Padwal. The event was live streamed on the LockerRoom India KZbin channel.
WDS Pune saw more than 120 athletes from across the nation competing in MMA, Kickboxing and BJJ bouts. This was the second event from Warrior’s Dream Series after their initial event in Navi Mumbai.

Tapna thinbiyo don't hit hard... While the other coach telling to "Elbow dal elbow dal yes yes" May b bcoz of the difference his fighter lost... Straight Elbow is unfair

Anyone who uses " alpha " is a straight up omega. An alpha doesn't need to call themselves alpha because they are called by others or made into it. But the ones who call themselves alpha are usually omegas.

[@ramansingh1993]

Stop bringing regions here man. The marathi kid looked like he barely got even food to eat at home. Though both are Indians and I'm happy for both but this seemed a pretty one sided thing since the start. If you put a kid from UP, Haryana or Punjab then the results will be completely different as they're more athletic. Anyways, I'm so proud of manipur.

[@TRIPLEHunofficial]

​@@ramansingh1993 stop generalising man, this kid can knock out any average up, haryana, punjab kid (in respect of weight class obv)

[@ramansingh1993]

@@TRIPLEHunofficial I'm not generalising and what you said is not possible. It's a truth that average UP, Haryanvi, Punjabi men are more muscular and taller than rest of India. I've lived in Noida and I've seen so many people from Northeast and Nepal here. Most of them are short in height and wide physique. I used to tower over all of them. Let me tell you I'm not a giant myself. I'm 184 cm which is roughly 6'1. People from far east are around 162 cm on average I think. There were some people in my office taller than me but all of them were either from UP or Haryana. Look at Neeraj Chopra for example, a haryanvi boy. Defeating boys from those states is not possible.
