I'm Suryakant Das, an avid sports enthusiast from a family that cherishes the world of sports. I still vividly recall the day my father took me to watch Indian wrestling, sparking my fascination with the discipline and the aura of those warriors. Over time, my love for combat sports grew, and now, I'm a UFC writer at EssentiallySports. My work is driven by my passion for MMA and storytelling, with Charles Oliveira, my favorite fighter, inspiring me every step of the way. Much like Oliveira's journey from underdog to world champion, I'm on a path to realize my own aspirations. Beyond crafting stories for MMA fans, you'll often find me in the gym honing my physique. My next goal? Completing 1,000 unique stories for our readers at EssentiallySports. Drop by for a chat at?

Mackenzie Dern and Mark Zuckerberg

The coveted scrap between Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson in 2002 was when I realized the passion for combat sports within my family. My interest in combat sports began watching scripted pro wrestling shows. It was my father who directed me towards combat sports and it wasn?t until the late 2010s that I discovered the world of MMA and the UFC. Like many of you, I too, tuned in for the infamous Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor bout live on October 6, 2018. Being an ardent fan of the UFC (and Dustin ?The Diamond? Poirier), I was always looking to have conversations about the same with others. But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I?m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs. You can hit me up at-

I am a UFC writer at EssentiallySports, and my passion for MMA and a deep understanding of its intricacies have allowed me to churn out more than 1000 articles. I have covered numerous UFC events and fighters, with the aim of bringing my readers closer to the action and the athletes they admire.

Growing up, I loved sports and began watching combat sports in the late 2000s, with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor standing out as my favorite MMA fighters of all time. Apart from that, I am an avid soccer fan and a dedicated supporter of the Chelsea Football Club. Additionally, I have an affinity for professional wrestling and started my writing career covering WWE. You can reach out to me at-
