TJ Grant ended his UFC career on a five fight win streak that was capped off with a KO of Gray Maynard which guaranteed him a title shot at Ben Henderson. Of course that's a what if fight we never got to see because Grant ended up retiring due to catching a concussion in training and ultimately decided that the money in MMA wasn't worth the damage he was taking (Seeing as things are now he was right lol)
But this guy was a dog. Somebody you should definitely look up if you're unfamiliar.
You also know what's crazy? That fight against Gray Maynard was at UFC 160. The same card where Cain Velasquez murdered Big Foot for a second time, JDS caught Mark Hunt with a crazy spinning wheel kick. And names like Max Holloway, Khabib, Wonderboy and Robert Whittaker were still fighting on prelims.

Early Life…
Struggled for the bit it was on the feet but Burns was able to get a bodylock on Dunham and hook one of his legs to get the takedown and Dunham’s back. From there, Burns had Dunham turning until he locked up the RNC. Huge 2nd win in the UFC for Burns. Big week from the brothers Burns.
Olivier Aubin Mercier TKOs Evan Dunham with repeated knees to the body!
Feels like we've been waiting FOREVER for this version of OAM. A dude who is a tremendous grappler backed with decent wrestling but really competent striking. Even had a little bit of adversity to fight through, getting wobbled early. Mercier's flirted with this "I'm a striker too" mentality from time to time but it looked legit this time. Becomes the third dude ever to finish Dunham behind Cerrone and Melvin Guillard. Thumbs up all around!

Most of us dislike the idea of Chris working with Lena because she's a disgusting human being. We aren't even thinking in the direction that they may start dating/do PR together. She's just so gross. I hope that the drop is fake or the deal doesn't materialize beyond talks.
Ew. I didn’t mean a fake relationship. Who in their right mind would think that? I meant because of who she is and the things she’s done.
