Tioken that’s still more than grant. I had grant winning the first but the takedown and few strikes after made it 50/50. Sekulic is terrible tbh, hurts a guy then throws a flying knee instead of just throwing a straight right hand on someone who dizzy. He never throws more than 1 strike at a time. He would have got a finish if he threw a 2 and 3. If there is anything good to take from this fight it’s that I know to bet against both of these guys next time. I bet on grant and no way did he win rounds 2 or 3 more poor judging carrying on from last week

Can't be mad at that, not a great win by any means for Grant but Sekulic needs to wake the **** up if he wants to stay in the UFC

Yeah @spud I agree, Grant didn’t look good. But 1 punch to the face means more than one takedown with no damage attached to it. Pretty vanilla fight so far. If it wasn’t a round system I’d say sekulic wins just for the fact that he had the only meaningful action at the end of the third.

Grant was gassed after round 1 , definitely needs to do some serious cardio work or he wont get much further up the ladder . Fight shouldve been a draw
