Mixed martial arts record from Sherdog

Kultar Gill (born March 24, 1979, in Mission, British Columbia) is a professional Indian-Canadian welterweight Muay Thai kickboxer and Lightweight mixed martial artist currently signed with Super Fight League, fighting for Team Mamba in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

Background[]

Gill is from British Columbia, Canada and is of Indian descent. He began the martial arts when he was "14 or 15" years old, when he began practicing Muay Thai.[1]

Mixed martial arts career[]

Gill was scheduled to compete in K-1 Hero's 2007 Middleweight Grand Prix, where his fight was going to be a rematch with Caol Uno in the semi-finals on September 17, 2007 with the winner moving on to the finals later that night. However he missed the tournament due to a shoulder injury. [2] Kultar has opened his new gym in Abbotsford, British Columbia Canada, Team Mamba, where professional fighters such as Sabah Fadai, Gary Mangat, and Kajan Johnson have trained.[3]

Gill's notable opponents also include Yves Edwards and Hideo Tokoro (twice), the second match being one in which he showed markedly improved submission defense. This is notable given that his background is Muay Thai, a discipline in which he was ranked sixth in the world at one point. [4] His background also includes wrestling, where he was the British Columbia champion as a young man.[citation needed] In a recent interview, he boldly predicted a 1st round KO victory if he were to have a rematch with the highly touted Caol Uno.[5]

Gill's most recent kickboxing match was a loss to Buakaw Por. Pramuk at K-1 World MAX 2008 Final.

Super Fight League[]

After nearly four years in retirement, Gill announced that he will be returning to mixed martial arts at Super Fight League 3 against South African kickboxer Quinton Arendse for the Super Fight League in Delhi, India.[6] He was successful in his MMA return, winning via KO in the first round.

The SFL then signed him to a four fight contract.[7]
