Davey Grant is a bad man.- The jiu jitsu expert showed he has dynamite in his hands, too, knocking his
UFC opponent out Saturday. - Watch the finishing two-punch combo right here.
"Dangerous" Davey Grant brutally knocked his UFC opponent to the floor with a two-punch combo Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Grant told Insider earlier in the week that he was at the pinnacle of his career and was aiming to take winning momentum into the behind-closed-doors UFC Fight Night 187 event.
He did just that and more on the night as the 35-year-old ended the fight in the second round with a highlight-reel sequence.
Grant did not have it all his own way, though, as all three of the Octagonside judges scored the first round a 10-9 for Jonathan Martinez.
A former street-fighter with more battles than Jorge Masvidal, Martinez edged the opener with 19 of 38 signifcant strikes landing (50%) accuracy compared to Grant's rate of 21 from 55 (38%).
Martinez's activity decreased in the second while Grant upped the ante and closed the show midway through the round despite complaints of a broken foot.
Grant unfazed Martinez by switching stances to unleash a spiteful right hook to the body before unloading a left hook to the jaw.
It was a beautiful, textbook, one-two body-head blow, and though it was enough to put Martinez down and likely out, Grant followed up with a couple more shots before the referee separated the pair.
