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.

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-

Rohit Raj is a UFC writer at EssentiallySports. As a Business student, Rohit?s love for the UFC was double-sided with the business of it being just as intriguing as the martial arts aspect of it. ?Don't just fight, perform? is a quote that he believes drives the most entertaining fights of the UFC, with the likes of Conor McGregor, Chael Sonnen, and Israel Adesanya sweeping him off his feet with their skill as well as swagger and trash talk capabilities. Rohit has a black belt in Karate, having participated in state-level championships. He loves to play soccer and go to the gym regularly. Rohit, a dedicated cinephile, theater actor, and filmmaker, also enjoys dancing in underground street cyphers every once in a while.

Akshyay Mahapatra is a UFC author for EssentiallySports. He wished to combine his passion for the UFC (that he has been following since 2008) as well as his love for writing. This motivated him to enter the world of combat sports journalism. His long tenure as a fight fan lends weight to the views he expresses in his articles. Following Brock Lesnar's move from the WWE to the UFC, he grew to respect the work of every single professional fighter. As he understood MMA is a true discipline, he remained a die-hard UFC fan even after Alistair Overeem sent Brock Lesnar packing from the UFC at UFC 141 in 2011. He is a great admirer of the Dagestani juggernaut Khabib Nurmagomedov and is a fan of 'The Predator' Francis Ngannou's insane KO power. In his downtime, Akshyay loves catching the latest flick. He is a film fanatic and has a special affinity towards suspense thrillers.
