Donald Matthew Grice (born July 29, 1981) is an American mixed martial artist who has fought for X-1, Freestyle Cage Fighting, Ultimate Texas Showdown and the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He competes in the Lightweight division.
At Harrah High school, Matt was a 4-time Oklahoma State Wrestling Champion, winning Outstanding Wrestler 3 times, a feat which has never been accomplished by any other competitor. After his senior season, Matt was the most highly recruited wrestler in the nation at his weight, choosing the University of Oklahoma to attend college.
