LAS VEGAS – Grant Dawson entered UFC Fight Night 214 looking to hang the first loss on his opponent’s pro record. After Mark Madsen clipped him early in the first round, Dawson (19-1-1 MMA, 7-0-1 UFC) rallied to control the Olympian on the ground for the remainder of the frame. In the second, it was more smothering grappling from Dawson, who outwrestled Madsen (12-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) at every turn. In the final round, Dawson continued his offensive output and pressure, eventually taking Madsen’s back on the ground. He then slipped an arm under the neck and clamped on a rear-naked choke to force a tap just over two minutes in.
