Grant Dawson's Very Good Year

Lightweight Looks To Ride 2024's Winning Momentum Into UFC 311 Showdown With Diego Ferreira On January 18

Grant Dawson is back. Well, he never left, so let’s just say there were some people wondering what went wrong when he was halted in the first round by King Green back in October of 2023.

Nothing. He got caught. These things happen in MMA. And if there were any doubters to be silenced, “KGD” did just that in 2024.

“Two wins, one finish, incredible after-fight speech, I like it,” he said. “So yeah, good year.”

Dawson’s two walks to the Octagon saw him win a comfortable unanimous decision over Joe Solecki in June, and then stop Rafa Garcia in less than two rounds.
