BOSTON – When heavyweight Arjan Bhullar makes his next octagon walk, he’ll honor his faith by wearing a traditional turban. It might even have a Reebok logo on it. Backstage at this past Saturday’s UFC 220, Bhullar (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) told reporters that he’s been cleared by the promotion to don the headwear for a fight with Adam Wieczorek (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at UFC on FOX 29, which takes place April 14 at a location to be determined. “As of right now, that is the plan, and we’ve got the green light for that,” Bhullar said. “It’s going to be a very special moment for all Indians.” A UFC official confirmed to MMAjunkie that Bhullar will be allowed to wear a turban. The 31-year-old fighter, who is Indian and practices the Sikh faith, said he would color-coordinate his UFC uniform with the headwear.
