T.J. Grant put on an MMA clinic against Carlo Prater at UFC on Fuel 3 on Tuesday night, controlling every aspect of the fight through 15 minutes to earn a unanimous decision.
Grant was comfortable striking with Prater throughout, but he shined against the Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt on the ground, scoring takedowns, passing, and attacking for submissions. He nearly finished the fight at the horn as he snatched a late armbar, but Prater was saved by the end of the fight.
Grant has now won two straight in the lightweight division, and looks very impressive in that weight class. Prater technically is 1-1 now in his UFC run after a DQ win in his debut in January.
