Grant Dawson
Training out of Glory MMA and Fitness, [autotag]Grant Dawson[/autotag] proved why he’s one to watch when he took out “Ultimate Fighter” winner Mike Trizano.
Dawson (14-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) saw his momentum take a halt when, after securing a UFC contract on Dana White’s Contender Series with a second-round submission over Adrian Diaz in 2017, he was forced to sit on the sidelines due to a USADA violation.
But 14 months later, Dawson was cleared of any wrongdoing and was able to resume his career. He defeated Julian Erosa in his UFC debut in March 2019, followed by the biggest win of his career, a second-round submission over Trizano at UFC on ESPN+ 10 in May.
Having initially calling out Shane Young, Dawson draws the scrappy and durable Chas Skelly instead at UFC 246, which should make for some fun scrambles and grappling exchanges – a solid test for Dawson at this point of his career.
