Grant Dawson had an incredible night at UFC Vegas 98 as he got a TKO victory over his opponent. The American beat his opponent Rafa Garcia in the second round while dominating the fight from the start. Apart from the win, Dawson was able to give an NSFW shoutout to his lovely wife.
Dawson was extremely hyped about his win and thanked his wife for her contributions. However, he made sure to hilariously credit his wife’s physique in the process, which caught the attention of everybody in the area. His wife, Elle Dawson, couldn’t contain it and felt extremely shy with all that flattery.
The second favorite thing about my wife is how much she believes in me. My favorite thing is that she has a dump truck you can bounce a quarter off of.

From the get-go, Dawson showcased his grappling prowess and secured multiple takedowns. Though Garcia defended them effectively, he didn’t do much against the relentless pressure shown by Dawson. In the second round, Dawson secured another takedown and followed it up with brutal ground and pound.
This forced referee Chris Tognoni to step in and stop the fight. It was Dawson’s second win in a row following his unfortunate loss against Bobby Green last year. While Dawson showed an incredible performance, he didn’t get any fight bonus but made many fans with that energetic promo.

If you look at my phone I’ve got pictures of my dog, my friends and some inappropriate pictures of my wife somewhere. If you look at his everything is fights, the dude is an absolute nerd
