For his first fight back in the cage in four years, Eddie “The Sultan” Saldana faced middleweight contender Dwight Grant at Reality Fighting’s show Saturday, February 25,2012 at The Mohegan Sun Arena.
The fight was a three round brawl with Grant taking the win via TKO.
To the surprise of many fight fans, Saldana can definitely take a punch and knee to the head! He never went down.
Saldana said of Grant- “He was the toughest guy I ever fought. He was just a lil too big and a lil too strong. He had much better stand up than I thought. The kid was legit tho. Props to him.”
Saldana said of the fight- “ I’m not down about it at all. I’m motivated to come back stronger as a Welterweight. I need to fight at 170. I’m focusing on adding more strength. ”
Look for Grant fighting for Reality Fighting’s Middleweight title.
The fight starts at about 4min into the video.
Definitely fight of the night! Eddie's an amazing fighter and is gonna do some serious DAMAGE at 170!
