Davey Grant (born 18 December 1985) is an English mixed martial artist. He was one of the cast members for UFC TV series The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate and currently competes in the Bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Grant started kickboxing training when he was 14 and picked up grappling on later date where he had his first amateur fight at the age of 15. Along with training MMA, Grant also played football and rugby during his teenage years. He decided to take it seriously when he was 21 where he decided to be a professional fighter after he won a fight just to prove to his friends he had trained in MMA.

I was watching a fight with my mates and I told them I used to do it. Nobody believed me because I’m not the kind of person that gets into fights, I just like to get along with people and have a laugh.

Grant fought all of his fights primarily in the England circuit and amassed of a record of 9–1 prior to being signed by the UFC.

Grant was selected as one of the cast members for The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rousey vs. Team Tate, under Team Ronda Rousey in September 2013.

In the preliminary bout preceding the tournament, Grant faced Danny Martinez whom he defeated via second-round submission. In the elimination round, Grant submitted Louis Fisette in the second round. Grant was next scheduled to face Anthony Gutierrez. However, Gutierrez did not make weight and was expelled from the show and Grant advanced to the Final facing Chris Holdsworth in The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale.

Grant made his UFC debut on 30 November 2013 at The Ultimate Fighter 18 Finale in Las Vegas, United States against Chris Holdsworth to crown the bantamweight winner of The Ultimate Fighter 18. He lost by rear-naked choke in round two.

Grant was expected to face Roland Delorme at UFC Fight Night: Gustafsson vs. Manuwa and it was cancelled after the weigh ins the day before the event due to Grant suffering a torn meniscus. He voiced his disappointment for not being able to make the fight in front of his home crowd in an interview:
