LAS VEGAS – Grant Dawson doesn’t mind fighting an unranked opponent, even though some believe it’s time he does.
Dawson (20-1-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) returns to action this Saturday with his first octagon headliner at UFC Fight Night 229 against Bobby Green (30-14-1 MMA, 11-9-1 UFC). “King” is a veteran and a known name, but not one of the 15 fighters on the UFC’s official lightweight rankings.
This doesn’t bother Dawson. In fact, he’s actually glad to be fighting rather than some other names in the rankings.
