"TJ" Grant is a retired Canadian mixed martial artist who most recently competed in the Lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Grant began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of 15 and then also began wrestling, later going on to compete at Cole Harbour District High School. Grant was a three-time Wrestling Champion in his province in 2001, 2002, and 2004 and also represented Nova Scotia at the 2001 Canada Games in London, Ontario. Grant has also won several competitions in submission wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu in his home country of Canada. Grant made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2007 and compiled a record of 13-2 before being signed by the UFC.
TJ now runs his own school teaching mixed martial arts with a focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Muay Thai. His new brand is influenced by the UFC, the Grant Family Crest, the "G" from his surname, and the BJJ Black Belt. "Stand Fast" is the traditional Grant motto.
