Grant Dawson secured another submission victory at UFC 328, showcasing his elite back control and back-taking ability. The report suggests Dawson's back mount skills are comparable to top grapplers like Aljamain Sterling and Charles Oliveira. His opponent Rebecki made a tactical error by initiating the grappling exchange himself, which played into Dawson's strengths. Despite ongoing defensive vulnerabilities in the striking exchanges, Dawson improved his UFC record to 12-2-1. This marked his fifth rear-naked choke finish in the UFC, positioning him to potentially challenge the all-time records held by Demian Maia, Michael Chiesa, and Renato Moicano in that category.
