Juan Diaz Explains Why Davey Grant Could Be Next UFC Fight
Juan Diaz makes his UFC debut as an underdog, defeating Malcolm Wellmaker by submission. Now he's ready for another challenge: facing Davey Grant, who beat his teammate Adrian Luna two weeks ago.
Former UFC fighter Juan Diaz is ready for anything, but he’s not afraid to take on his former teammate and longtime rival, Davey Grant, in a high-stakes fight. The two have had their fair share of battles over the years, and both are known for their aggressive styles. “Only because he beat my teammate,” Diaz told Hablemos MMA Spanish-language website.
“He, or another name I like, is a guy who fought in Contender a week before I did; it was Charles Jourdain's brother (Louis Jourdain). He’s good. ” The Mexican fighter made his UFC debut on the main card of UFC Fight Night 276, defeating Malcolm Wellmaker by submission.
Diaz says he feels confident and well-prepared going into the fight. “Training was good,” Diaz added. “Fight week was good, I enjoyed it a lot.
The weight was easy. I was excited walking out to fight. I had no nerves.
