I am Dushyant Patni, a UFC writer at EssentiallySports. My passion for Mixed Martial Arts started because my father used to be a boxer and a martial arts fanatic. It passed down to me as my first pair of boxing gloves were his old ones! Prior to joining EssentiallySports, I honed my writing and editing skills across various organizations as a writer and an editor. My love for competition also led me to a stint as a semi-professional e-sports athlete and streamer. However, my passion for martial arts and training has remained steady throughout my life. I fell in love with MMA through old copies of ?Blackbelt? magazine and VHS tapes of PRIDE FC handed to me by family members who used to travel abroad. I've been closely following the world of MMA since 2000, gaining expert insights into the sport's nuances. My ability to combine this expertise with refined storytelling ensures that my readers enjoy an exceptional reading experience. Although I write part-time, I am a full-time MMA aficionado. My ultimate dream is to become an MMA coach and establish my own combat sports academy, where I can share my love for the sport with other like-minded souls. You can contact me at-

Hi, I am Arghyadeep, a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. Being brought up alongside two brothers who were avid WWE fans, I had no option but to watch alongside them and sometimes even partake in their ?re-enactments?. However, I found myself gravitating towards combat sports soon after. Whilst WWE (then known as WWF) was my introduction to combat sports, I stumbled upon something that interested me even more back in 2011, when I witnessed my favorite UFC fighter Jon Jones battle it out with Rampage Jackson. Besides being a UFC fan, I am also a professional singer. I go on tours and I perform all across the country as well. Music and UFC go hand-in-hand for me and I hope that someday, I can attend a UFC event somewhere and cover that event live. If you want to say hello?
