The 38-year-old said that while he was in a match in Dubai after a 6-year break, the sheiks suggested that he should take part in MMA which is a very famous tournament there. Sangram said that he has not started this training and will do so in July. He mentioned the retirement age in MMA and other sports is 30 years and Sangram being 38 is going to start a career in it. The wrestler said that this is an example that age is just a number and until your body allows you to do something, no one should hesitate. 

He advised that people should not change their diet plans, instead eat whatever they want but with happiness and should work twice the time. Working out is a must and hence it should be part of their daily routine. Sangram said that athletes should not worry about getting medals, rather they should focus on the efforts that they put in. Winning and losing are part of life, it is the efforts that count.
