Preview Lewis McGrillen: “I Thrive in That Chaos” – Reflecting on an Epic MMA Battle

“I could see the canvas slowly getting dark. I was slowly losing consciousness.” This chilling recollection comes from Lewis McGrillen, who emerged victorious from one of MMA`s most unforgettable and brutal fights against Dean Garnett last year.

The bout was nothing short of astonishing, featuring a staggering 14 knockdowns exchanged between the two fighters. McGrillen`s incredible resilience shone through as he escaped a deep chokehold, only to deliver a definitive one-punch knockout to secure the win against Garnett.

If you watch my fighting style, I`m very chaotic, in a way, and I just feel like I`m a very chaotic person. So when it comes to that sort of chaos, I thrive underneath that.

— Lewis McGrillen

Looking ahead, McGrillen is set to return to the octagon this Saturday to face Alan Philpott. He expressed his anticipation, remarking, “The world`s going to get to see me more. This is the perfect fight to showcase what I`m capable of.”

McGrillen solidified his reputation by capturing the PFL Europe bantamweight title last year, a triumph made all the more significant by his epic victory over Garnett.
