Arjan Bhullar was not allowed to wear a turban when he walked out at UFC 215 ahead of his promotional debut in September. He hopes that changes in time for his next fight.
Born in Canada, Bhullar, who defeated Luis Henrique by decision in his first Octagon showing, is the first UFC fighter of Indian descent. Bhullar practices the Sikh religion. The heavyweight said UFC officials denied him his wish of walking out to the cage in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada wearing his turban.
Wearing unbranded clothing does not violate the UFC Athlete Outfitting Policy, per its rules and regulations.
