Grant Dawson (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) will look to remain unbeaten in the Octagon when he meets Ricky Glenn (22-6-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at UFC Vegas 41 on Oct. 23.
Dawson was originally slated to fight Diego Ferreira, the No. 11-ranked lightweight on Oct. 2, in what would have marked his foray into the top-15. Ferreira suffered an injury, and the fight was scrapped. With Ferreira likely on the shelf until December, Dawson, who wanted to stay active, took the fight with Glenn.
“I’m going to go in there, beat up Ricky, and then in December, I’m hoping to get the Diego fight again,” Dawson told MMASucka.
