Grant Dawson’s Unbeaten Streak
A former competitor on Dana White’s Contender Series, Dawson has proven to be a formidable opponent with an unbeaten record in eight promotion appearances. His impressive record includes a draw against Ricky Glenn, which remains the only blemish on his ledger. Most recently, the 29-year-old American Top Team representative claimed victory over Damir Ismagulov at UFC on ESPN 48 on July 1, winning by unanimous decision.
Bobby Green’s Recent Win and UFC Career
On the other hand, Bobby Green managed to end his three-bout winless streak by securing a third-round submission against Tony Ferguson at UFC 291 on July 29. The well-traveled “King” has a 11-9-1 record during his UFC tenure, with notable wins over fighters such as Al Iaquinta, Clay Guida, and Josh Thomson.
Both fighters are looking to make a statement in their upcoming main-event appearance at UFC Fight Night 229, which is set to be an exciting night of mixed martial arts action. As the event draws closer, fans will eagerly await the outcome of the Dawson-Green matchup and the potential impact it may have on the lightweight division.
