Grant Dawson secures fifth rear-naked choke submission in UFC

Grant Dawson demonstrated elite back control and back-taking ability to secure his fifth rear-naked choke submission in the UFC. His opponent Rebecki made a tactical error by engaging in grappling exchanges, playing into Dawson's strengths. Despite persistent issues with his striking defense and overall standup instability, Dawson has compiled an impressive 12-2-1 record in the UFC. His five rear-naked chokes put him on track to potentially surpass legends like Demian Maia, Michael Chiesa, and Renato Moicano in total submission finishes. The victory was built on Dawson's ability to dominate positionally across dozens of rounds throughout his UFC career.
