TROPHY Stall, behind proprietor Ramesh Sunich, yesterday paid tribute to Guyana’s first and only fighter in UFC, Carlston Harris.

The 34-year-old Harris has made a life for himself in several of the notable Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) leagues around the world. However, it was not until he broke into the most popular of them all – the UFC – that he reached stardom status in Guyana.

Harris, who hails from Berbice, has spent almost 17 years away from Guyana, and has returned home for the first time since his departure to peruse his fighting dreams.
He met with officials of Government, most recently with Prime Minister Mark Phillips. Harris made a stop at the popular Bourda Market store, where Sunich gifted him a special plaque on behalf of everyone in Guyana.

Sunich is an ardent sports fan and of course, like every Guyanese, had tuned in to see Harris compete in Octagons of the UFC.
According to Sunich, Harris’ story is inspiring and should not go without notice and recognition. He said all of Guyana should be proud of Harris for the love he shows to the Land of Many Waters.

Meanwhile, the usually smiling Harris thanked Sunich for his gesture, pointing out that he’s inspired by the love shown since he returned home.
