Davey Grant (16-7-0) versus Da'Mon Blackshear (17-7-1) is a UFC Bantamweight division matchup on Saturday night at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. Grant continues to produce impressive performances in arguably the youngest and deepest division. At 39 years old, the Englishman still has lots of fight in him, winning his latest fights, including a KO/TKO win over Louis Smolka. The "Dangerous" is the warm -360 betting favorite to win this matchup.
Da'Mon Blackshear, meanwhile, is the younger fighter in this three-round scrap at 30 years old. The American is among the rising stars in the division, known for his venomous grappling and aggressive striking. "The Monster" will be looking to bag his third win in a row as he continues to climb up the ranks. He defeated Cody Stamann, Cody Gibson, and Alatengheili in less than seven months. Even more impressive is that he earned two submission victories.
