From Zomato Delivery to UFC Fight Pass: The Unbelievable Rise of Nilesh

 

Yesterday, one of our fighters competed on UFC Fight Pass.

Not a local event. Not a regional show.

UFC Fight Pass—the exact same platform that broadcasts the biggest, most elite fights in the world.

His name is Nilesh. And his story is going to change the way you look at your own excuses.

A Dream Fueled by Midnight Deliveries

A few years ago, Nilesh was doing Zomato deliveries late into the night just to survive. But every single morning, right after his grueling shift ended, he would walk through the doors of Crosstrain and put in the work.

He never complained. He never told anyone how hard things were at home or how tired he was.

He just showed up. Every. Single. Day.

Eventually, we found out what he was going through. We saw his undeniable grit, we believed in his potential, and we stepped in to sponsor his training. He didn’t just take that opportunity—he ran with it.

The Breakthrough: Becoming a Champion

Since those early days of exhaustion and relentless grinding, Nilesh proved exactly what he is made of. He fought his way to the top and became Aturto’s first-ever featherweight champion.

  • He took home ₹5 lakh in prize money.
  • He cemented his name in the record books.
  • He proved that his hard work was finally paying off.

But he didn’t stop there.

The APFC Knockout on the World Stage

Yesterday, Nilesh walked into the APFC (Anthony Pettis Fighting Championship) cage.

This wasn’t just any fight. It was broadcast live globally on UFC Fight Pass.

In Round 2, he saw his opening and unleashed a devastating spinning kick straight to his opponent’s liver. His opponent immediately crumbled.

Fight over. KO victory. On the world stage.

A boy from Jaipur who used to deliver food at midnight just knocked someone out in front of a massive global audience on one of the biggest combat sports platforms on the planet.

Let that sink in for a moment.

The Rise of Indian MMA

This victory couldn’t have come at a better time. During a week when the UFC was being recognized at the White House and MMA is experiencing its biggest mainstream moment ever, Indian fighters are rising to the occasion.

Nilesh is living proof of what happens when someone who started with absolutely nothing decides to give everything they have.

He didn’t have money. He didn’t have industry connections. He certainly didn’t have an easy path paved for him.

What he had was sheer dedication. And he had Crosstrain.

What Is Stopping You?

Here is what I want you to ask yourself right now, honestly:

What is stopping you from chasing your goals?

Because whatever your answer is, whatever excuse is holding you back, it’s significantly smaller than the mountains Nilesh had to overcome.

If he can go from the night shift on a delivery bike to a spectacular knockout on UFC Fight Pass, you can take the first step toward your own transformation.

]]> In today’s fast-paced world, finding an activity that benefits both physical and mental well-being is more important than ever. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), a martial art centered around grappling and ground fighting, offers a unique blend of physical fitness, self-defense, and mental discipline. It is a highly inclusive martial art that can be practiced by men, women, and children of all ages, making it an ideal choice for individuals seeking a well-rounded approach to health and personal development.

Physical Benefits

One of the key attractions of Jiu Jitsu is its accessibility. Unlike many martial arts that rely heavily on strength or striking power, Jiu Jitsu focuses on technique and leverage. This means that individuals of all body types and fitness levels can practice and excel in the sport. The physical benefits are vast:

  1. Full-Body Workout: Jiu Jitsu engages nearly every muscle group. Rolling (sparring) requires a combination of strength, flexibility, and endurance. Over time, practitioners develop a stronger core, increased cardiovascular health, and enhanced coordination.
  2. Weight Loss and Muscle Toning: Because it is such an intense workout, BJJ is an excellent way to burn calories and lose weight. It also helps tone muscles, as many techniques require the use of body weight for resistance.
  3. Improved Flexibility: The various movements in Jiu Jitsu, from transitioning between different positions to escaping holds, promote flexibility. This increased flexibility is beneficial not only in training but also in daily life, reducing the risk of injury.
  4. Self-Defense Skills: Jiu Jitsu equips practitioners with the ability to defend themselves, regardless of size or strength. By emphasizing technique and strategy, even smaller individuals can subdue larger opponents. This is particularly empowering for women and children, making BJJ a practical self-defense system.

Mental Benefits

In modern times, where stress and anxiety levels are often high, the mental benefits of Jiu Jitsu are just as important as the physical ones.

  1. Mental Toughness: Jiu Jitsu is often referred to as “physical chess.” Every roll (sparring session) requires practitioners to think multiple steps ahead, remain calm under pressure, and solve problems quickly. This mental aspect of BJJ builds resilience and sharpens decision-making skills, which translate into daily life.
  2. Stress Relief: Engaging in regular physical activity is a proven method for reducing stress, and Jiu Jitsu is no exception. The intensity of a BJJ class allows individuals to focus solely on the task at hand, providing an escape from the stresses of daily life. The endorphin rush after training leaves practitioners feeling refreshed and mentally clear.
  3. Discipline and Focus: Jiu Jitsu instills a deep sense of discipline in its practitioners. Progress in BJJ is slow and requires consistent effort over time. This teaches patience and perseverance, valuable traits that extend beyond the mat.
  4. Confidence Building: As individuals progress in their Jiu Jitsu journey, they gain a sense of accomplishment that boosts self-esteem. The confidence that comes from knowing one can defend themselves, combined with the physical transformations, can be life-changing for many.

Why Jiu Jitsu for All Ages?

Jiu Jitsu’s adaptability makes it perfect for all ages. For children, it provides an early introduction to physical activity, helping them build coordination, discipline, and social skills. For adults, it offers a way to stay fit and relieve stress. Even older adults can benefit, as BJJ focuses on technique over brute strength, promoting mobility and flexibility.

In conclusion, Jiu Jitsu is more than just a martial art; it’s a holistic practice that fosters physical fitness, mental toughness, and personal growth. Whether you’re looking to stay in shape, learn self-defense, or build resilience, Jiu Jitsu offers something for everyone—men, women, and children alike. Now is the perfect time to start your journey in Jiu Jitsu and experience the transformative benefits for yourself.
