Indian MMA: Daniel Isaac responds to Accusation by Bharat Kandare

In a recent interview with The Fan Garage, Bharat Kandare had noted that he was supposed to fight in the UFC back in 2014. Bharat added that All India Mixed Martial Arts Association official Daniel Isaac was the reason why the UFC fight did not materialise.

The strong accusation made from Bharat had grabbed the attention of MMA fans in India and it didn’t take much time for Daniel to respond.

In a statement given to the MMA India Show, Daniel had the following to say:

“Every fighter that I have taught, trained, mentored and promoted I treated as my younger brother, I took decisions for them with their consent taking in mind their best interests, over the years I have been coach, promoter and now AIMMAA commissioner. If Bharat feels that way about me it’s sad but I guess people are people and you can’t always change everyone’s mindset neither can you always defend yourself against slander. I have nothing bad to say about Bharat Khandare, the person or the fighters wish him all the best for his future career. Somesh(of Superhuman gym) and party will want to build a story on how they have heroed their way into Bharat’s career and show that everybody else previously involved with him were bad guys, thats how these stories are usually told”
