Davey Grant inspired my former opponent Marlon Vera’s turnaround in form: ‘He’s smashing it now’

With a 1-3 octagon record going into UFC Moscow, England’s Davey Grant has been inspired by his former opponent Marlon Vera’s turnaround.

It’s been a year-and-a-half since fans have seen Grant in action, and the British bantamweight is itching for his octagon return in advance of a meeting with Grigorii Popov.

“I just want to fight and start putting good runs together,” Grant told MMA Fighting. “I want to get some consistency going, but at the same time, I know I’m lucky to be in this position. I’m just taking it as it comes.
