A veteran in the sport, Manjit Kolekar has been involved in active professional MMA since 2012. A straw-weight fighter, fighting out of Superfit Combat based in Mumbai, India, Manjit Kolekar is a very well established fighter in the domestic circuit with a professional record of 11-4.

Kolekar has been regularly competing in the Super Fight League and the Indian regional circuit and has never been defeated in the homeland. In addition to domestic competition, the veteran combatant has also been competing Internationally in Invicta FC, Russia's Fightspirit Championship and Brave FC.

Manjit Kolekar has hit a rough patch lately and has been defeated in her last 3 fights, her last defeat coming at the hands of Samin Kamal Beik at Brave CF 30. Despite her recent fallout, there is no denying the talent and promise in Manjit Kolekar. An experienced fighter and still young in age at 28 years old, Manjit Kolekar can be expected to turn her fortunes around and is just a few good victories away from being a frontrunner in Indian MMA globally.
