I am a 24-year-old MMA enthusiast and a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. My passion for mixed martial arts has been a significant part of my life for over five years. Having previously trained in boxing, I developed a deep appreciation for combat sports. Among the many MMA fighters, Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira stand out as my absolute favorites. Both of them have an inspirational story and they are two of the best strikers in the world. My love for various martial arts forms extends beyond MMA, and I firmly believe that everyone should experience the discipline and artistry of at least one martial art in their lifetime. In addition to my martial arts interests, I'm also a state-level powerlifter, constantly striving to push my physical limits. Whether it's watching MMA bouts, practicing martial arts, or lifting weights, I'm fully immersed in the world of combat sports. I believe in the physical and mental benefits that come from these disciplines and the values they instill. In my free time, I pursue music production as a hobby. You can reach me at-

Hi, I am Arghyadeep, a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. Being brought up alongside two brothers who were avid WWE fans, I had no option but to watch alongside them and sometimes even partake in their ?re-enactments?. However, I found myself gravitating towards combat sports soon after. Whilst WWE (then known as WWF) was my introduction to combat sports, I stumbled upon something that interested me even more back in 2011, when I witnessed my favorite UFC fighter Jon Jones battle it out with Rampage Jackson. Besides being a UFC fan, I am also a professional singer. I go on tours and I perform all across the country as well. Music and UFC go hand-in-hand for me and I hope that someday, I can attend a UFC event somewhere and cover that event live. If you want to say hello?

A BJJ aspirant, Deepak began following the sport as a casual fan when Ronda Rousey was finishing her opponents in seconds. Now, a hardcore fan of names like Petr Yan, Charles Oliveira, and Tony Ferguson, he just can't even miss a single fight. This has helped him develop a passionate understanding of the sport that he hopes to translate into his work. When not working, he likes to hang out with his squad.
