Ritu Phogat — Official Ambassador of Parimatch

Ritu Phogat, widely known as “The Indian Tigress,” is a powerhouse athlete who transitioned from a decorated wrestling career into the high-stakes world of mixed martial arts. Trained from the age of eight under the guidance of her father, legendary coach Mahavir Singh Phogat, she became a national champion and a rare international medalist in the under-23 category. Her gold at the 2016 Commonwealth Wrestling Championship and her silver at the world under-23 level marked her as one of India’s most promising wrestlers. In 2019, she made a bold move to the global MMA stage by signing with ONE Championship and training full-time at Evolve MMA in Singapore. 

Ritu made an outstanding debut in Beijing, defeating Nam Hee Kim in under three minutes and announcing her arrival as a serious contender. Her transition into MMA reflects both courage and a relentless spirit that mirrors Parimatch’s ethos. Known for her disciplined mindset, Ritu continues to push boundaries as she aims to become India’s first female MMA world champion. Today, as Parimatch’s official ambassador, she stands as a symbol of transformation and unstoppable ambition.

Ritu Phogat first made headlines as a wrestling prodigy, winning a national championship before claiming gold at the 2016 Commonwealth Wrestling Championship and silver at the Under-23 World Wrestling Championships. Her dominance on the mat led to her becoming the most expensive female wrestler in India’s Pro Wrestling League auction, highlighting her rapid rise in the sport. In a bold career move, she stepped away from a promising wrestling future to pursue mixed martial arts, joining the prestigious Evolve MMA academy in Singapore. Her MMA debut at ONE Championship’s “Age of Dragons” event in Beijing was nothing short of spectacular, securing a TKO victory in under four minutes with decisive takedowns and relentless ground-and-pound. 

Since then, she has established herself as a formidable contender in the atomweight division, driven by the goal of becoming India’s first female MMA world champion. Her wrestling heritage remains the foundation of her fighting style, now enhanced with striking and grappling skills perfected in MMA. Determined, disciplined, and fearless, Ritu continues to inspire fans and athletes across the globe. Under the Parimatch banner, she represents the perfect blend of tradition and modern combat excellence.
