UFC bantamweight Davey Grant is hoping a string of wins can set up an eagerly anticipated trilogy fight with Marlon 'Chito' Vera.
Grant looks to rebound off of consecutive losses this Saturday night when he fights fellow UFC veteran Louis Smolka in Las Vegas. The Brit has spent seven weeks training in Sin City for the fight, working with some of the best fighters in the world at Syndicate MMA.
Vera recently broke into the top five at 135-pounds after outpointing Rob Font to pick up his third straight win. Grant first beat Vera in 2016, but the Ecuadorian avenged the loss in their rematch last June. Grant is now hoping three consecutive wins can earn him a deciding fight with Vera.
