Nepali MMA fighter Rabindra Dhant has made history by advancing into the semi finals of Road to UFC Season 5 after defeating the Philippines’ Kimbert Alintozon in the bantamweight quarterfinal at the Galaxy Arena in Macau on Thursday.
Earlier, Dhant was scheduled to face Matty Iann but due to his injury, he was replaced with Alintozon.
Dhant, widely known as Bajhang ko Bagh, has become the first Nepali fighter to secure a victory at Road to UFC.
Now, Dhant will take on the winner of the semi finals clash between Japan’s Yonosuke Minami and New Zealand’s Kasib Murdoch.
If he wins, Dhant, competing in the bantamweight division, will book a spot in the UFC main stage.
