Grad on the fight’s key moment
“I’m not too glad with my performance tonight since it wasn’t nearly what I’m able to. However it is what it’s – back to the drafting board. Next time, I’m going to perform a bit of bit higher, and possibly I’ll perform at my fullest.”

Grad on his debut
“Hearing my name called within the UFC for the primary time was an incredible feeling and I can’t be more proud than I’m. There was no pressure for me because I already achieved my dream – being within the UFC. All the pieces after that was going to be a bonus, and it was a superb bonus.”
Grad on what he wants next
“I need to fight at the very least thrice in 2025 and climb up the rankings – not the highest 15. Don’t get me fallacious – I’m not delusional. But there are a lot of other guys before that.”
