Join us as we cover UFC Fight Night: Grant Dawson vs. Bobby Green, which kicks off live tonight (October 7th) from the APEX facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The marquee matchup of the evening involves longtime UFC veteran, Bobby Green, squaring up with the UFC’s #10 ranked lightweight, Grant Dawson. There’s not a ton of meat on the relevancy bone here, but hey, there’s a bunch of action fighters who typically deliver on the excitement. The start time for this fight card is 4pm ET/1pm PT.
Dawson is a fierce grappler, who has a tremendous amount of back take ability. Once the man gets there, it’s extremely difficult for anyone to escape. What Grant lacks in the striking department, he makes up for with neutralizing ground skills. I can’t quite call this a classic striker vs. grappler match, because although Green favors the standup, he is a well-seasoned and well-rounded fighter. If Bobby can find a way to keep the fight at range, then he’ll have a clear advantage on the feet… but that’s a big ‘if.’
There’s an excellent chance that someone is going to sleep in this UFC fight night co-main event, when the heavy handed Joe Pyfer throws down with fellow knockout artist, Abdul Razak Alhassan. Out of 13 professional fights, Pyfer has only reached the score cards one time. That’s insane! On top of that, more often than not you’ll see an Abdul Razak Alhassan match will end with a violent KO. I know I am completely expecting a scene here.
Oh, and whatever you do, make sure you tune in for Drew Dober vs. Ricky Glenn. If you know, you know. Another action bout on this UFC fight card includes the technical and over-producing, Alex Morono, pitted against an explosive striker in Joaquin Buckley. Plus, perennial wild man, Ion Cutelaba, will be his unpredictable self as he tussles with a surging Philipe Lins.
The main event for this UFC fight card starts at 7 p.m. ET. The prelims begin at 4 p.m. ET.
