Deepak Kumar is a UFC author at EssentiallySports. His love for MMA comes from the chaos and violence the fight business brings to the table. 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.
