Grant Dawson strengthened his profile as a person of interest in the Ultimate Fighting Championship with perhaps his most trusted maneuver.
“KGD” disposed of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 27 winner Michael Trizano with a rear-naked choke in the second round of their UFC Fight Night 152 prelim on May 18, 2019 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester New York. Dawson slammed the door shut 2:27 into Round 2, then proceeded to cash a $50,000 bonus check for “Performance of the Night.”
Trizano entered the cage with a perfect 8-0 record.
