The last time we saw Matt Grice in the octagon, he was putting on a “Fight of the Year” candidate. As he battles back from a life-threatening auto accident, Grice hopes it’s not the last time he steps into the cage. Citing his love for competition, Grice said he’s already hitting mitts and will soon be grappling again, as well. “It’s part of what made me, I think, just to compete,” Grice told MMAjunkie. “I love to compete.” A seven-time UFC veteran and Oklahoma City police officer, Grice was critically injured in an off-duty car accident on Sept. 8.

During the darkest time of UFC veteran Matt Grice ‘s recovery from a horrific car accident, one of his daughters turned down his pictures around the house so she wouldn’t have to see them. It was then that Grice’s wife, Caroline, wouldn’t let the girls see their father in the hospital. She didn’t want their last memory to be of him lying in bed, fixed to tubes. “It’s crazy to know what they’ve been through through this whole thing,” Grice, 32, recently told MMAjunkie Radio. The outlook is much brighter now for Grice, who continues to recover from a traumatic brain injury that left him in a monthlong coma.
