Grant Dawson (21-2-1, 9-1-1 UFC) vs. Rafa Garcia (16-3, 4-3 UFC)ODDS: Dawson (-395), Garcia (+310)

Garcia has been a solid midcard lightweight during his time in the UFC and always a tough out, as he’s durable and capable of doing a bit of everything. With that said, the double-edged sword is that everything needs to be clicking for Garcia in order for him to put together a truly great performance. There’s a chance he can work enough to tire Dawson late and take the fight over, but dedicated wrestlers have found success against Garcia in the past—including the under-athletic Chris Gruetzemacher—so it seems likely that Dawson can dedicate himself to the grind and once again walk away with a win. The pick is Dawson via decision.
