Bobby Green hands Grant Dawson first Octagon loss with upset KO in just 33 seconds – UFC Vegas 80 Highlights

Veteran lightweight staple, Bobby Green has likely landed within the lightweight top-15 once more — years on since his last time in the rankings, handing the hugely-talented, Grant Dawson with a stunning first round knockout loss inside the Octagon — with just 33 seconds lasped on the clock in their UFC Vegas 80 headliner tonight. […]

Green, who made just his second main event appearance under the banner of the UFC, entered tonight’s headlining clash with wrestling talent, Dawson off the back of a third round arm-triangle submission win over former interim champion, Tony Ferguson.

And turning in a shocking upset victory tonight in the main event of UFC Vegas 80 — San Bernardino native, Bobby Green dropped Dawson with a perfectly-timed and placed straight left hand strike, before following up with a slew of ground strikes, forcing referee, Keith Peterson to call a halt to the action inside just 33 seconds of the opening round at UFC Vegas 80.

Electing against calling for a certain opponent following his win over American Top Team staple, Dawson, Green instead called to feature on a card of some form in December, hoping to continue his vein of busy activity before the end of the year.

Grant Dawson issues stark warning to Islam Makhachev after UFC Vegas 76 win: ‘I’m your replacement’

Off the back of his third consecutive victory in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 76 last night, streaking lightweight contender, Grant Dawson has issued a stark warning to division champion, Islam Makhachev – describing himself as the Russian’s eventual “replacement” atop the weight class. Dawson, a staple of American Top Team under the tutelage […]

Dawson, a staple of American Top Team under the tutelage of Mike Brown, turned in a hugely-dominant unanimous decision win over the highly-touted, Damir Ismagulov – adding to a run of prior wins over both Mark O. Madsen, and Jared Gordon – submitting the pair with rear-naked chokes stoppages.

Boasting a stunning nine-fight undefeated run with the promotion, Dawson, who’s sole outing without a win came in the form of a close, majority draw outing against Ricky Glenn back in 2021 – had landed consecutive wins over Julian Erosa, Michael Trizano, Darrick Minner, Nad Narimani, and Leonardo Santos following his move from Dana White’s Contender Series.

Grant Dawson issues warning to champion, Islam Makhachev

Currently clinching the number fifteen ranking in the official lightweight pile, Dawson issued a warning to Makhachev following his UFC Vegas 76 win over Ismagulov.

“Islam Makhachev, you are the GOAT, but I am your replacement,” Grant Dawson told UFC color-commentator, Michael Bisping during his post-fight Octagon interview.”

Winning vacant lightweight gold back in October of last year against former champion, Charles Oliveira, Makhachev submitted the Brazilian with a second round arm-triangle choke.

Returning to the Octagon at UFC 284 back in February, Makhachev turned in his first successful title defense with a close, unanimous decision win over featherweight champion, Alexander Volkanovski.

Yet to be booked for his return to the Octagon – Makhachev is expected to headline UFC 294 in October in Abu Dhabi, UAE – taking on the aforenoted, Oliveira in a title re-run in his return to the Middle East.

Grant Dawson just bought himself a ticket for the Paddy Pimblett lottery.

From the moment Pimblett’s hype train kicked on its engine, fighters have been chomping at the bit to put the Liverpudlian’s lights out. Nebraska native Grant Dawson added his name to the list. While engaging in a Q&A session with fans for Millions.co on Instagram, Dawson revealed that he is working to get a fight with ‘The Baddy’ when the UFC returns to London in March.

“I would love to fight against Paddy,” Dawson said. “We are asking for that fight in London, March 18th. I will go to his home turf to fight him, and to prove that Scousers get knocked out” (h/t MMA Junkie).

Grand Dawson is currently riding a 10-fight win streak dating back to 2016. In 2017, he earned his way into the UFC with a second-round submission over Adrian Diaz on Dana White‘s Contender Series. Since then, ‘KGD’ has earned seven straight in the Octagon, his most recent victory coming against Olympic silver medalist Mark O. Madsen in November.

Grant Dawson and Paddy Pimblett Have Both Earned Wins Over Jared Gordon

Paddy Pimblett is coming off his fourth straight win inside the Octagon, though that victory came with an oversized helping of controversy. Scoring a unanimous decision win over Jared Gordon in the UFC 282 co-main event, a majority of fans, fighters, and generally anyone with eyeballs scored the bout in favor of Jared Gordon. Some even went so far as to call it the worst decision in UFC history. The loss was Gordon’s second defeat in his last three fights with the other loss coming against Grant Dawson.

If Grant Dawson doesn’t get his wish for a showdown with ‘The Baddy’ in London, he has a few other names picked out for his return to the Octagon in 2023.

“If that doesn’t happen, I’m looking for Tony Ferguson,” Dawson said.” If that doesn’t happen, I’m looking for Dan Hooker. If that doesn’t happen, I don’t know what to tell you. Who else?”

Chopping away at Madsen’s left leg in the third and final frame, Dawson followed the Dane to the canvas, eventually working to set up a rear-naked choke and force a stoppage from referee, Herb Dean.
