Being India’s most famous mixed martial artist it is no surprise that Ritu Phogat has some celebrity friends. She challenged actress Poppy Jabbal to an eating contest and the fighter defeated the movie star.
Both shared the video of them eating panipuris on Instagram:

For the uninitiated panipuri’s are one of the most popular street snacks in Indua. They consists of ball-shaped, bread filled with a mixture of flavored water, tamarind chutney, chili powder, chaat masala, potato mash, onion or chickpeas (thanks Wikipedia!)
Last year Ritu reached the final of the atomweight Grand Prix but was beaten by Stamp Fairtex. She appears to be taking some time off after fighting an incredible five times in 2022.
Ritu will have to wait a little longer to be crowned a champion in MMA. But she is undefeated when it comes to eating panipuris!
