Prediction
Grant Dawson vs Bobby Green
Bobby Green enters this bout with a victory over Ferguson, to whom he had engaged in an aggressive start. Ferguson was seen holding Green down in the opening round, but Green instantly stood up for him and protected him from harm. Then Green delivered some of his feet actions and counters, which saved him from getting kicked out. Green’s performance in that clash was quite impressive, where the veteran showed that he is still a dangerous fighter. So, a highly tough competition is expected from Bobby’s side in this matchup since he still maintains his fantastic striking, wrestling, and grappling skills.
Grant Dawson, on the other hand, heads into this clash after securing only a single loss throughout his career. In the prior fight with Ismagulov, Dawson was seen landing massive strikes. The first two rounds of that clash were not that appetizing, where Grant Dawson started to take his opponent down and control him from the third round. Dawson proved that he was capable of competing at high levels, and the judges ended that fight in favor of Dawson, providing him with a unanimous decision victory. Even though Bobby Green possesses talent and experience in MMA, Grant Dawson’s improved striking and wrestling skills give him an edge in this event. Hence, Grant Dawson is highly favored to win this battle against Bobby Green through submission.
The Pick: Grant Dawson via Submission
