Sangram Singh (born 21 July 1985) is an Indian wrestler, actor, motivational speaker and MMA Fighter.

Sangram was born in the village of Madina, located in Rohtak, Haryana. He was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and used a wheelchair for the first eight years of his life. His father, Umed Singh, is a retired Army soldier, while his mother, Ramodevi, is a homemaker.

Sangram Singh started his career as a sportsperson with the Delhi Police in 1999. In All India Police Games 2005 he represented Delhi Police at Chawla (New Delhi) and won a bronze medal. He was awarded the title World's Best Professional Wrestler by World Wrestling Professionals (WWP), after a match in South Africa in 2012 for his style, stamina, and nature of wrestling.

In July 2015, Sangram won the WWP Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship after defeating Joe E. Legend in the Last Man Standing fight in Port Elizabeth. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi called Sangram Singh at the Parliament house to congratulate him for his victory.

Sangram won the WWP Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship for the second time on 27 March 2016, by defeating South African wrestler Ananzi, keeping the belt in India. The match was held at Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

After a six-year hiatus, Singh returned to professional wrestling at the Dubai Pro International Wrestling Championship on 24 February 2024, where he defeated Pakistan’s Mohammad Saeed and won his match.

In October 2024, Singh made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut at the Gama International Fighting Championship in Tbilisi, Georgia, defeating Pakistan’s Ali Raza Nasir in 90 seconds. The bout was widely reported in Indian media as a significant milestone, with Singh becoming the first Indian male wrestler to successfully transition into MMA and win a professional bout.

At the age of 40, Singh’s entry into MMA was noted by media outlets as an uncommon achievement for an athlete beginning a professional mixed martial arts career at that stage of life.
