Grant Dawson Batters Diego Ferreira En Route to 10th Win Inside the Octagon – UFC 311 Highlights
Grant Dawson delivered a dominant performance against Diego Ferreira, earning his 10th career win inside the Octagon at UFC 311.
Ferreira looked to lead the dance with his boxing in the opening round, but Dawson had other plans and promptly put his opponent on the mat for the majority of the first five minutes.
That trend continued in the second stanza, much to the chagrin of the live crowd who began showing Dawson with boos after seeing him secure yet another takedown. With Ferreira pinned against the fence, Dawson began reigning down some vicious elbows. Unfortunately, they didn’t do enough damage to justify a stoppage, sending us into the third and final round.
Picking up right where he left off, Dawson quickly worked Ferreira back down to the mat less than a minute into the round. After about 60 seconds on the mat, referee Frank Trigg called for both fighters to stand up. Dawson then proceeded to clip Ferreira with a stiff right hand before sending him back to the mat almost immediately.
With Dawson continuing to work and transitioning to Ferreira’s back, Trigg was content to let Dawson do his thing on the mat, allowing the clock to run out and sending us to the scorecards.
Official Result: Grant Dawson def. Diego Ferreira via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
