Why Grant Dawson Will Win
Last Fight: (W) Diego Ferreira – U DEC
Last 5: 4-1
Finishes: 5 KO/TKO, 13 SUB
Grant Dawson turned in yet another dominant performance as the betting favorite in his last fight, controlling all three round of action against Diego Ferreira both on the feet and on the ground. His grappling has become a massive focal point of his game, but he does a tremendous job of setting it up with his striking. From the feet, Dawson is able to close the distance without sustaining damage and once he's dead set on scoring the takedown, there's not much that will deter him from constantly chasing it.
