UFC Vegas 80 will feature a Lightweight bout between Grant Dawson and Bobby Green as the main event. Dawson, ranked No. 10, is on a hot streak with 11 wins in his last 12 fights, while Green has struggled with a 1-2-1 record in his last four fights.

Grant Dawson, an undefeated contender in the UFC, will face Bobby Green in the main event of UFC Vegas 80. Despite his impressive grappling skills and nine-fight win streak, Dawson remains relatively unknown to many fight fans. While his striking is not his strongest suit, Dawson's power and ability to mix in kicks have allowed him to hold his own on the feet. His wrestling is a standout aspect of his game, as he excels in chain wrestling and has a knack for turning bad positions into successful takedowns. In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Dawson's focus is on taking the back and securing submissions, with the rear naked choke being his go-to finish. However, his reliance on the body triangle can be physically draining, and he has shown signs of fatigue in longer fights. The upcoming bout against Green will be a test for Dawson to showcase his skills and potentially expose any weaknesses.
Following the UFC Vegas 76 event, potential matchups for the main card winners have been suggested. Sean Strickland, who scored a TKO win over Abus Magomedov, could face the loser of the upcoming Robert Whittaker vs. Dricus du Plessis fight or Paulo Costa. Grant Dawson, who defeated Damir Ismagulov, could potentially face Matt Frevola. Michael Morales, who defeated Max Griffin, could face Randy Brown. Ariane Lipski, who won a split decision against Melissa Gatto, could face Natalia Silva. Benoit Saint-Denis, who won via rear-naked choke against Ismael Bonfim, could face Elves Brenner. Nursulton Ruziboev, who had a knockout win over Brunno Ferreira, could face Marc-André Barriault.
UFC lightweight contender Grant Dawson believes that Conor McGregor won't fight Michael Chandler due to his status with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). McGregor needs to be in the testing pool for six months before competing in the UFC, a status he has yet to regain after taking himself out of it to recover from a broken leg. Dawson doesn't think McGregor will get an exemption like Brock Lesnar did in 2016, and he believes that McGregor is trying to get past the rules. McGregor hasn't tested positive for any banned substances, but there's been speculation on the potential use of steroids given the muscle mass he's put on in the past year.
