Lalnunsanga Chhakchhuak

Lalnunsanga Chhakchhuak returned to Hyderabad in August 2026 with a decision win from his first Legacy Fighting Championship appearance behind him. This time he finished the fight. Against Dushyant Singh on 22 August, the Mizoram bantamweight secured a second-round stoppage that Explore Mizoram described as a knee knockout, earning the event’s knockout-of-the-night award.

The return followed a year and a half of competition in Dhar, Shillong, Aizawl and Hyderabad. The Aizawl Post’s preview of the August card identifies him with Khawzawl and Chawnpui in Aizawl, and names SPES as his gym. He was travelling to the event alongside another Mizoram athlete, Lalramhlimpuii of Lunglei, who trained elsewhere and had a separate opponent on the card.

Chhakchhuak’s earlier amateur title run included three different finishes. In January 2025, The Zozam Times reported that he won featherweight gold at a national amateur MMA championship in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. After a first-round bye, he won his quarter-final by rear-naked choke, his semifinal by technical knockout and the final by armbar. The newspaper did not name those opponents; the full bracket remains unconfirmed.

In Shillong on 28 June 2025, he faced Jeff Diengdoh at the Shillong Cage Fighting Championship. Sherdog lists the bout in his amateur history, recording a third-round TKO at 1:25.

His first Legacy appearance came on 5 April 2026, against Suraj Ojha in the inaugural event’s bantamweight main event. Chhakchhuak won a majority decision after three rounds despite a point deduction, according to LockerRoom’s results report, and received the performance-of-the-night award. The published account does not establish what caused the deduction.

Between the two Hyderabad trips, there was a title night at home. MISMA held its 30 May fight night at the R. Dengthuama Indoor Stadium in Mualpui, Aizawl. The Mizoram government’s event report lists Chhakchhuak, fighting as Lalnunsanga for SPES, beating Thangsanglian of Genesis Gym by TKO in a professional bantamweight bout and winning the championship belt. The same report distinguishes the evening’s amateur and semi-professional contests.

Competition within Mizoram was expanding around that time. Vanglaini’s April 2026 report described about 100 fighters from eight districts at the state championships, with SPES taking 17 gold medals and seven silvers. MISMA general secretary Samuel Lalrozama named Lalnunsanga among three new professionals that year. Those were gym and association figures, but they show the scale of the local circuit behind his appearances outside the state.

The August win leaves a discrepancy between the published records. Explore Mizoram described him as 3–0, while Sherdog’s professional list contains the two Legacy victories and omits the government-reported MISMA bout. The sources support three individually reported professional wins; they do not all capture the same career history. His amateur tournament results remain separate.

His two trips to Hyderabad ended differently: first a decision despite a point deduction, then a second-round stoppage and a finishing award. Between them, he won a belt in Aizawl. Within five months, Chhakchhuak had won at home and twice returned from the same professional promotion outside the Northeast with a victory.
