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-
