In her MMA debut at Summer Showdown 4, she submitted Niki Lowe in the first round via armbar. Granger also tapped out Ivana Coleman via rear naked choke in the first round at Combat Games 60. Then, she defeated Jamie Thorton via TKO in the second round to pick up the lone knockout win of her professional career thus far. At Dominate FC 2 Granger faced Invicta Fighting Championships veteran Amy Montenegro and tapped her in the first round. In her debut appearance with Cage Fury Fighting Championships at CFFC 71, she faced two times Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series alumni Jamie Colleen and submitted her via armbar in round one. For the headliner of CFFC 75, Granger tapped out Brazil’s Heloisa Azevedo in the first round to earn back to back wins with Cage Fury Fighting Championships.
