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-

I hail from a family of passionate sports lovers, especially combat sports. It is from there that I realized how aptly combat sports embody life. The words of Jeremy Lesniak, "It's not about learning to fight, it's about learning to be better through the expression of action" resonated with the interest I had in combat sports. I had my first tryst with combat sports when I watched Brock Lesnar crossing over to the UFC and Manny Pacquiao trading punches with Juan Manuel Marque in 2008. Captivated by combat sports and to live the sports more closely, I joined the Boxing family at EssentiallySports in September 2022. With a background in law, I try to bring a unique perspective to my sports coverage. The thrill of knockouts and the action from my early memories instantly made me fall in love with combat sports, which has only grown with time. While a purist at heart, I'm excited at the prospect of the recent surge of crossover combat sports. I strongly believe that the flair and the entertainment aspect along with the boxing skills is the new way. Beyond the ring, I enjoy delving into books and indulging in animes.
