Delhi boy Anshul Jubli becomes the second Indian to earn a UFC contract
Jubli (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) took some showboating from Jeka Saragih (13-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in the opening round, but it just resulted in some consistent punishment. The 28-year-old “King of Lions” relied on his advantage in grappling with dragging Jeka Saragih to the ground in both the first and second rounds.
From there, he could take control of the situation and inflict harm. Jubli prevented Saragih from getting away in the second after he managed to do so in the first by hammering out the finish with a barrage of top punches.

“King of Lions,” Jubli utterly dominated the contest and refused to let the judges determine his fate. He demonstrated a commanding ground game that his Indonesian opponent could not match.
