Rajdeep Jayan is a UFC writer at EssentiallySports. Rajdeep was inculcated into the world of combat sports through his love for Sylvester Stallone's iconic character, the 'Italian Stallion,' Rocky Balboa. His early obsession with the genre was recently rekindled by the debates he would engage in with his roommate during his college days. Having completed his Master's Degree in Linguistics, Rajdeep expertly reads between the lines and delivers comprehensive insights into events on and off the field. Armed with his linguistic background and young love for the sport, Rajdeep tailors his writing to provide a fresh new style and perspective. Whenever he is not in awe of athletes' work ethics, he finds joy in culinary pursuits and creating original music. Perpetually inspired by the mental and physical journey that fighters go through, Rajdeep looks forward to growing his authority in the field of sports writing and hopes that his readers grow with him.
