Kathmandu-Ravindra Dhant from Nepal has become the first-ever Nepali fighter to win the Matrix Fight Night (MFN) Championship, defeating Indian champion Chungreng Koren in MFN 17, held in India.

Competing in the bantamweight category, Dhant earned the title with his aggressive mixed martial arts (MMA) style, known for striking and wrestling. He secured victory in the third round after delivering a series of powerful strikes that left Koren in trouble, prompting the referee to stop the fight and declare Dhant the winner via technical knockout (TKO).

This victory not only crowns Ravindra Dhant as the MFN champion but also breaks Koren’s five-fight winning streak, improving Dhant’s professional record to 8 wins and 1 loss.
