And it is a dream for the owner and her family. Also she added that in Chungreng case, all we expect in return from our signed fighters and their team or coach are to be accorded the respect and courtesy of being informed if any other promotion reaches out to them. If this simple act of respect is too much to ask for, then the contract easily allow it.
In the past, promotion has most happily granted NOC’s to Angat Bisht, Puja Tomar, Arshivan Memon and Mridul Sakia who all has the courtesy to discuss with us about their UFC or other promotion offers.
