Video: Is Grant Dawson the next big thing at lightweight?
Grant Dawson is officially a top-10-ranked fighter, per the official UFC rankings, after a breakthrough performance Saturday in Las Vegas.
In the UFC on ESPN 47 co-main event, Dawson (20-1-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) dominated technical specialist Damir Ismagulov (24-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) en route to a unanimous decision (30-26, 30-27, 30-27) victory.
While it wasn’t close to Fight of the Night honors, the lopsided successfulness of the outing turned many heads in the MMA community.
But just how big of a feather is the victory in Dawson’s cap? Where’s he headed and what’s his ceiling? MMA Junkie’s “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Farah Hannoun, Brian “Goze” Garcia and Danny Segura joined host “Gorgeous” George Garcia to discuss Dawson’s big win.
