UFC: Davey Grant to home in on deal
DAVEY GRANT has gone from self-confessed ‘homeless bum’ to the brink of a six figure UFC contract.
He said: “Fighting in the UFC is a dream come true and I want to make the most of it.
“I
think Chris has a really solid ground game and good stand up. He comes
from a great team and is going to be a tough guy to beat.”
Grant was livid that fans might think he got a free ticket the final when junk food lover Gutierrez was five pounds overweight.
Sacramento’s Holdsworth defended Grant and added: “He did get his free pass into the finals, but it didn’t anger me.
“People are going to say, ‘But he didn’t have to fight three times,’ and this and that, but it’s not his fault.
“For me, the champion’s road is the hardest road. I fought three times, and I earned my way into the finale.
“No one can take that from me. I’m not saying he didn’t earn it, but that’s just the way things happened.
“I
definitely respect Davey. What happened isn’t his fault, and he truly
wanted to fight. It just sucks that he didn’t get to fight and prove to
people that he deserved to be in the finale.”
