Hi, I am Kanishk and I am a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. I love telling the stories of these magnificent fighters and this wildly unpredictable sport that is so frustrating and yet so joyous at the same time. I never really used to watch MMA, thinking it too crude or brutal a sport to deserve respect. But, spurred by Joe Rogan, I started my journey to becoming an MMA fan. And once I started watching, I was hooked. The drama- better than most movies, the storylines- more gripping than the WWE, and the results- even more shocking. And pretty soon, I found myself arguing with strangers on the internet over whether Demetrious Johnson would beat Jon Jones if they were the same size, or if UFC 1 was actually fixed. I have taken that same passion and love for the sport to ES and hope to share it with the readers. And the best part is that it's my job to watch UFC events with fellow enthusiasts and write about it. I can interest you in some MMA banter if you reach out to me at

Makhachev and Gaethje

As someone who's spent her childhood experiencing combat sports firsthand, I have always been in awe of the action in the cage. Post a Degree with Honors in Literature, I quickly realised my penmanship needed some gloves. So here I am , Imtikokba Jamir, a pro writer for UFC at EssentiallySports. I would choose favorites, but there are some fighters who I just can't help but hope good things for - Robert Whittaker, Sean Strickland, Max Holloway, and Justin Gaethje, to name a few. But, do I especially enjoy watching Charles Jourdain? Yes. There are a lot of elite-level strikers in the UFC but none as elegant as Jourdain. At ES, I bring their stories alive for their many ardent fans, like myself. And when away from the bustle of the sportsworld, I retire to my little haven with my books.
