Grant still has ‘no timetable’ for UFC return
TJ Grant: “I just don’t spar and stuff like that. We’ll see what happens. I’m just doing what I can and not getting too far away from the sport.”
TJ Grant was on a five fight win streak in the UFC’s lightweight division and was scheduled to fight for the UFC title. Unfortunately Grant suffered a concussion in training and the after affects have kept him out of competition for the past sixteen months. Although Grant is hopeful to return soon, he still has no exact timetable for him to fight again:
Grant has already lost out on the biggest opportunity a fighter can get in the sport when he was forced to withdraw from a championship contest. It doesn’t get much worse, and that’s why Grant is not rushing his way back into the octagon.
There’s no timetable, Grant said. I can work out at high intensity, I just don’t spar and stuff like that. We’ll see what happens. I’m just doing what I can and not getting too far away from the sport. Still somehow stay involved in it, watch it and keep my body in good shape. That’s really all I can do.
