Grant Dawson vs Mark O. Madsen Prediction

Predominantly known as a jack-of-all-trades master of none fighters, "KGD" will have at least the youth on his side in this matchup, coming into the fray around 10 years Madsen's junior. While there is a case to be made that "The Olympian" Mark is still fairly green in terms of his time here in mixed martial arts, his Greco-Roman background from his meddling days puts a big fat hole in all of the naysayers that doubt he is ready for the prime time. 

Although the class of competition has not always been stellar, Mark has nevertheless demolished the brunt of his adversaries, all while maintaining a perfect 12-0 record to start his cage-fighting career.

In order for Grant Dawson to find success, the name of the game is simple. Maintain composure and utilize your longer limbs/size attributes to keep the shorter Madsen at bay, as well as peppering the body with deep kicks and stinging jabs in order to rack up not only damage but points with the judges as well.

For "The Olympian," he must close the distance early and often, looking for the takedown like his life depended on it and subsequently sitting in half guard when he finally completes one on the Glory MMA alum. 

So when it's all said and done who wins this fight? While the wrestling credentials and gritty nature of Mark Madsen greatly sway me in taking a stab at the Danish underdog, ultimately I will refrain for the sake of my bankroll and sanity.

Instead, I will opt to play the over as I wholeheartedly believe these two warriors are durable and intelligent enough to keep themselves from any serious danger en route to a greasy split decision. Play the over 2.5 and watch your ROI come alive.
