Davey Grant vs Daniel Santos Prediction

English veteran Davey Grant takes on Brazil’s Daniel Santos in the bantamweight division in what could very well be a fight of the night candidate on Saturday.

Grant is arguably getting better with age as the 39-year-old Englishman has won three of his last four fights in the Octagon. He is incredibly well-rounded and is always entertaining to watch. In five of his last eight fights in the UFC, Grant has either won a fight of the night or a performance of the night bonus.

The UFC matchmakers have paired him up against Brazilian Daniel Santos (12-2) and it has all the makings of yet another highly-entertaining fight.

Santos has had three fights in the UFC and after losing on his debut, he responded well by winning his next two fights. It is however, almost two years since his last fight when he fought Johnny Munoz Jr in June 2023. It will be interesting to see what condition he comes into this fight in, but that is something of a red flag coming into this one.

Grant is an absolute professional always like his chances of handling anything Santos can throw at him in this one.

Prediction: Davey Grant to win
