Suchika Tariyal, 36, clinched India's first-ever Asian Games MMA medal (bronze) in the women's traditional 60kg event — the discipline's debut at the Games.
She defeated Mongolia's Altanchimeg Baigalmaa 2-0 in the quarterfinal but lost a controversial semifinal to Singapore's Teo Hui Hoon 0-2 after their bout ended in a draw, with the winner decided by morning weigh-in — Teo was lighter by just 700 grams.
