Davey Grant | What It Really Takes to Last a Decade in the UFC #67

UFC veteran “Dangerous” Davey Grant joins Miesha to break down the mindset, grit, and inner battles behind one of the most resilient careers in modern MMA. In this fast, focused cut, Davey opens up about the wild childhood that shaped him, the addictive tendencies he had to overcome, and how fighting became the discipline that kept him from going down a darker path.

They dive into the injuries, setbacks, surgeries, and personal losses that nearly derailed his career — and the mental reset required to keep showing up at 39 with purpose, presence, and gratitude. Davey also shares how fatherhood transformed his perspective and why raising strong, resilient kids matters just as much as winning fights.

If you want a quick dose of toughness, perspective, and real fighter wisdom, this cut brings the core of Davey Grant’s story to life — raw, honest, and full of growth.
