A native of India who grew up in Canada, Singh’s troubled childhood meant that he spent many of his early years going from school to school and sometimes from foster home to foster home, frequently getting into fights along the way. In the summer of 2004, a friend invited him to train at a nearby MMA gym in an effort to help him focus his fighting spirit into a competitive sport. That day, Singh’s whole world-view changed when it quickly became clear that his uncontrolled brawling was no match for the disciplined, highly-trained MMA fighters who dominated him on the mats. Since then, he has combined his newfound self-respect, work ethic, athleticism, and competitiveness into a series of outstanding performances inside the ring.
