Arman Khan is a UFC author for EssentiallySports. He began following combat sports when Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor competed in 'The Money Fight' in 2017. 'The Notorious' attracted Arman to the UFC, and he became an ardent fan of professional fighting as he could draw parallels with the action from his combat sports experience and break down techniques such as striking and striking defense lucidly for the casual fans. Besides writing MMA articles, Arman is a part of the organization's web stories team and is responsible for delivering engaging UFC and Boxing web stories. Arman is a black belt athlete who specializes in Shotokan Karate and has taken part in school, state, and national level tournaments and has won a State Gold and National Bronze.

“Heroism is endurance for one moment more.” I’ve been a lifelong Karateka with immense respect and admiration for the sweet science. Now, for the first time, I’ve got an opportunity to be as close as possible to the sport. For the past year, my words have danced across the pages of boxing narratives, crafting tales in and around the ring for EssentiallySports. Incidentally, three of my articles have even been embraced by the entities involved such as Tony Jeffries and Mia St. John. I have written over 900 articles, chronicling the recent developments happening inside and outside of the squared circle. Having a keen eye on the punches traded inside the squared circle, I have written opinion pieces on the fighting styles of Floyd Mayweather Jr, David Benavidez, and Terence Crawford. The genesis of my fascination with boxing traces back to the tales spun by my father, recounting the epic clashes between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, besides regaling me and my brother about the greatest of all, Sugar Ray Robinson. Outside of the greatest, my favorites remain the trinity comprising Alexis Arguello for his elegance and power, Marvelous Marvin Hagler for his chin and work ethic, and Manny Pacquiao for his resilience and dynamism. Aside from writing, I love to spend my leisure time reading, an activity that comes in handy when I don the hat of a storyteller for ES.

Hi, I am Kanishk and I am a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. I love telling the stories of these magnificent fighters and this wildly unpredictable sport that is so frustrating and yet so joyous at the same time. I never really used to watch MMA, thinking it too crude or brutal a sport to deserve respect. But, spurred by Joe Rogan, I started my journey to becoming an MMA fan. And once I started watching, I was hooked. The drama- better than most movies, the storylines- more gripping than the WWE, and the results- even more shocking. And pretty soon, I found myself arguing with strangers on the internet over whether Demetrious Johnson would beat Jon Jones if they were the same size, or if UFC 1 was actually fixed. I have taken that same passion and love for the sport to ES and hope to share it with the readers. And the best part is that it's my job to watch UFC events with fellow enthusiasts and write about it. I can interest you in some MMA banter if you reach out to me at
