Davey Grant vs. Cody Gibson, Two Other Bouts Added to UFC Fight Night on March 23

A bantamweight clash pitting Davey Grant against Cody Gibson is among the latest additions to the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s March 23 offering.

The booking was confirmed by Grant’s management, Iridium Sports Agency. Two featherweight bouts were also announced by Iridium: Julian Erosa vs. Ricardo Ramos and Fernando Padilla vs. Luis Pajuelo. UFC Fight Night is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. A headliner for the event has not been revealed.

Grant had a two-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing, when he dropped a split decision to Daniel Marcos at UFC Fight Night 224 this past July. The 38-year-old Englishman is 6-6 since beginning his promotional tenure in November 2013.

Gibson, meanwhile, kicked off his second Octagon stint at UFC 292, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Brad Katona on Aug. 19. “The Renegade” previously went 1-3 in UFC competition from 2014 to 2015.

Erosa has lost back-to-back outings, falling to Padilla and Alex Caceres via first-round technical knockout in his last two UFC appearances. Prior to that, “Juicy J” had been victorious in five of six promotional outings.

Ramos is 2-3 in the promotion since 2020. In his lone appearance of 2023, the Brazilian was submitted by Charles Jourdain in the opening stanza at UFC Fight Night 228 on Sept 23.

Padilla had a three-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing, when he fell to Kyle Nelson via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 227.

Pajuelo will be making his Octagon debut after earning a UFC contract with a first-round stoppage of Robbie Ring on Dana White’s Contender Series this past August.
