After a week-long break from hosting events, the UFC returns to the Apex in Las Vegas for UFC Fight Night: Dawson vs. Green.
The promotion's 155lb division will take center stage as veteran Bobby Green will take on surging lightweight Grant Dawson in the main event. 'King' is coming off an impressive third-round submission win over former TUF winner Tony Ferguson, which also saw him earn a Performance of the Night bonus.
Meanwhile, 'KGD' comes into the fight looking to continue his ascension in the UFC lightweight division. The No.10 ranked lightweight earned his contract on the Contender Series in 2017 and has a 20-1-1 MMA record. He is currently riding a 12-fight unbeaten streak that includes 8 wins via stoppage.
The UFC Fight Night co-main event is expected to bring fireworks as Joe Pyfer takes on Abdul Razak Alhassan in a middleweight bout. Both fighters are known for their knockouts, so it should be an entertaining bout for fans. All of Alhassan's wins have come via KO/TKO, while Pyfer has won 4 consecutive fights via KO/TKO.
