Looking at the tape from his last outing, Grant said he lost his last fight, has learned much from it, and continues learning, adding he will present the best version of himself ever seen in the Octagon. The numbers suggest that post-loss adjustments often tighten defensive schemes without erasing offensive habits, yet Grant leans on family to absorb pressure rather than delegate blame.
