Davey Grant will look to bounce back from the unanimous decision loss against Vera. ‘Dangerous’ was in a great run of form before the loss and is 3-1 in his last four fights.

Grant has developed into a highly skilled striker and can be a tricky matchup for Yanez. He throws some big bombs and can knock people out. The fighter from England has a striking accuracy of 48 percent, but his best option would be to take the fight to the ground. This is primarily to nullify his opponent’s strengths.

Adrian Yanez is proving to be one of the biggest prospects in the UFC right now. He is on a seven-fight win streak and likes to put on a show. Yanez is an excellent counter striker and has some serious power in his hands. However, his defense needs improvement.
