MONCTON, Canada – Arjan Bhullar was finished with a rare submission technique in his most recent octagon appearance. He said he’s moved past it, though, and intends on washing away those memories with an outstanding performance on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 138. Bhullar (7-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC), who meets Marcelo Golm (6-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) in a heavyweight bout this weekend, succumbed to just the second omoplata submission in UFC history when he lost to Adam Wieczorek at UFC on FOX 29 in April. No one wants such a dubious spot in the record books, but Bhullar said he didn’t take the nature of the outcome personally. Whether Bhullar lost by submission, knockout or on the scorecards, there was a lesson to be learned from failing to come out victorious for the first time in his MMA career. He took that to heart, and said a different fighter will step in the octagon at UFC Fight Night 138.
