Grant Dawson is an almost 3-1 favorite here and it makes sense. On paper they are essentially the exact same fighter with Joe having better BJJ and Grant having more aggressive wrestling. But the wrestling is the key here. Joe won't be able to submit Grant off his back and Grant will shoot 100 takedowns to grind out the win. Grant being KO'd by Bobby will only further guarantee that he will be diving at legs and sniffing cups the entire time. You don't get KO'd like that with a jab and then go into your next fight looking to strike. Grant will win a boring 15 minute decision and get back on track.

Grant Dawson

Grant Dawson is a grappler who averages almost 4 takedowns per fight. He has a great ground game with absolutely relentless pressure. He has good technical striking but his clear advantage in almost all of his fights is his wrestling and grappling. His pressure and willingness to be a crotch sniffing wrestler has has affording him quite a bit of success in the UFC. He is coming off the KO loss to Bobby Green where a jab put him to sleep.

Joe Solecki

Joe Solecki is a very good grappler as well who leans heavily on his wrestling and takedowns. He is very slick on the ground and really makes things happen with pressure and transitions. He also has solid hands with clean boxing that isn't just there to setup takedowns. He will however lose to the more technically sound strikers like he did against Jared Gordon. He is coming off the loss to Drakkar Klose where he had a nice takedown and a nice armbar setup, but was picked up and slammed on his head to be KOd.
