Watch this UFC featherweight grapple two female atomweights at the same time.
A good fighter can probably beat two much smaller fighters in one day, but what about going against two fighters at the same exact time? Grant Dawson figured he can still do it, so the UFC featherweight put his theory to the test.
Dawson, who is 14-1 overall and 2-0 in the UFC so far, decided to grapple with two atomweights at the same time. The featherweight fighter took on Elle Wagman, who has a 6-3 amateur record on tapology, and Laura Sanko, an ESPN and Invicta commentator that is 1-0 as a professional and 3-1 as an amateur.
The video is as funny and as crazy as you would imagine. Watch the two part clip below:

The two ladies probably could’ve succeeded by using a better strategy, but in the end, Dawson was able to armbar both atomweights to win this 2 vs 1 set up.
Dawson is a product of Dana White’s Contender Series, and is currently 2-0 in the UFC. He is set to face Chas Skelly this February on the undercard of the Benavidez vs Figueiredo title bout.
