Davey Grant earned a hard-fought victory over Adrian Luna Martinetti atUFC Vegas 116on Saturday.
Both fighters let their kicks go early, with Grant going heavy on the lead leg attacks, while Martinetti utilized the teep to keep his opponent at bay. That strategy continued in the second as both fighters slung heavy leather while punishing one another with kicks.
Martinetti attempted a different tactic in the third, going for an early takedown, but Grant fended it off with relative ease.
That prompted Martinetti to go right back to the striking, but it was Grant who appeared to get the better of the exchanges — just as he had in the first two rounds. With 60 seconds left in the fight, Martinetti finally got Grant to the mat, pinning him against the fence and jumping on his back. Grant quickly scrambled his way back up and separated, allowing him to unleash one final flurry before the final horn.
Official Result: Davey Grant def.Adrian Luna Martinettivia unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
