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-

My introduction to basketball was through Kobe Bryant. Soon enough, I was hooked to his game and although I started with being a fan of his, I also became a fan of basketball. To this day, Kobe remains my reference and guide as I try to navigate through life. I began my writing journey when I was pursuing law and merging the two worlds together was a no-brainer. I got an opportunity to put my thoughts, analysis, and opinions about the game of basketball, and I consider myself fortunate to be able to do this. My aspiration in this field of work doesn't stop here and I wish to explore as much as I can while constantly adding new skill sets. Other than the world of sports, I draw my inspiration in life from my heroes from the world of hip-hop music, especially from the late 80s to the early 00s. When I'm not in front of a screen watching my favorite teams perform magic, you can find me with my headphones on, trying to dissect a bar from my favorite artist.

My passion for sweet science began at the tender age of 12, a gift from my father who introduced me to the legendary persona of Muhammad Ali. In my heart, 'The Rumble in the Jungle' still remains to be the pinnacle of sporting history. Over the years, my fervor for boxing remained intact, although life's commitments sometimes deviated me from being a hardcore fan of the sport. But things changed when I joined ES, and it marked an offer I couldn't refuse. The fact that I could get paid for watching and chronicling my cherished sport felt like a dream. Since I joined ES, I have achieved accomplishments that fill me with immense pride. Penning more than a thousand articles, I have had the privilege to report on seven live events during my tenure. These include some of this year's most exhilarating bouts such as Tank vs. Garcia, Mayweather vs. Gotti III, Canelo vs. Ryder, Paul vs. Diaz, Joshua vs. Helenius, Canelo vs. Charlo, and Fury vs. Ngannou. Additionally, one of my articles was shared by the daughter of the boxing legend Muhammad Ali, Laila Ali on her Instagram story. This surreal acknowledgment left me in awe, considering the admiration I've held for her father throughout my teenage years. Notably, one of my articles dedicated to Muhammad Ali achieved a remarkable 31% scroll rate and garnered praise from devoted fans. Thus far, my journey with ES has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I eagerly anticipate adding further remarkable chapters in the future. When my focus isn't fixated on the pugilistic world, I find solace in cinema and books.

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best” - Tim Duncan said this once, and I took it as a sign to keep working on myself, without fail! Being a basketball player all my life, it was natural for me to eventually become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. Being a Spurs fan, I fell in love with Duncan and McGrady for making me the fan I am today. Their dedication to their field inspired me to never give up, despite my knee surgeries. Today, as an NBA writer, I get to share my unique perspectives with the world. The fact that I actually get to write about the things that I love, especially while getting to watch them live, it something I love about my job. With San Antonio landing a cornerstone for their franchise in Wembanyama, make sure you are paying close attention to Spurs-based pieces. When I am not knee-deep into all things basketball, I am gaming. I love PUBG, NBA2K and Forza Horizon. Want to have a spirited debate on my articles? Hit me up on the links below.
