WATCH: "For me it is a way of life, to connect from my past, as Sikhs, our warrior lineage, its what we are about, its the blood I carry."

Arjan Bhullar has made history as the first  Indo-Canadian Punjabi Sikh man to win  the Mixed Martial Arts heavy-weight  championship. He dedicated his win to all immigrants who has suffered several barriers and worked hard against prejudice and racism to pave the path for him and his successors.
