"Bajhang Ko Bagh" Strikes!

Rabindra Dhant Knocks Out India’s Koren, Becomes Nepal’s First MFN Champion

The cage shook, the lights flashed, and history was made. Rabindra Dhant, Nepal’s rising MMA warrior known as “Bajhang Ko Bagh”, delivered a spectacular knockout against India’s undefeated Chungreng Koren to win the Bantamweight Championship at Matrix Fight Night 17 (MFN 17).

With the world watching, Dhant silenced the Indian crowd in the most dramatic way possible — a clean K.O. in round three that crowned him Nepal’s first-ever MFN Champion.

A Knockout Heard Across Borders

It was a clash of titans: Koren entered the cage 7-0, riding a wave of hype, while Dhant carried the hopes of an entire nation. In less than three rounds, Dhant shattered expectations with precision strikes, relentless pressure, and the signature fire that earned him his nickname.

The finish? Explosive. Unforgettable. Iconic. The referee dove in, the crowd gasped, and Nepal celebrated.

From Bajhang’s Hills to International Glory

Once a boy from Bajhang working labor jobs across the border, Rabindra Dhant’s story is straight out of a movie. No rich backers. No flashy gyms. Just hunger, hardship, and an unbreakable will.

From training barefoot in Kathmandu to representing Nepal at ONE Championship, where he made headlines by beating a Russian fighter in 2023 — Rabindra has built his legacy punch by punch.

Now, with the MFN belt around his waist, he stands as Nepal’s face of combat sports.

Nepal’s New National Hero

Fans erupted across social media as Dhant raised the flag inside the cage. Streets in Bajhang lit up. Nepal’s MMA community now looks up to a champion who’s walked their path — and conquered it.

“This is not just my victory,” Rabindra said post-fight. “This is for every dreamer from every corner of Nepal.”

What’s Next?

More belts. Bigger fights. Global domination? Whatever comes, one thing is certain: Rabindra Dhant has arrived — and the world better be ready.
