Grant Dawson secures fifth rear-naked choke in UFC with back control dominance

Grant Dawson secured another rear-naked choke victory at UFC 328, showcasing his elite back-taking ability compared favorably to fighters like Taira and Sterling. His opponent Rebecki made a tactical error by engaging in grappling exchanges, playing into Dawson's strongest skillset. Despite continued defensive vulnerabilities in striking and poor strike absorption, Dawson's grappling excellence prevails. The victory improves his UFC record to 12-2-1 with dozens of rounds won through control time. This marks his fifth rear-naked choke in the promotion, putting him on pace to eventually surpass legends like Maia, Chiesa, and Moicano in total submission finishes.
