LAS VEGAS – Rafa Garcia has no intention of folding to the relentless grappling pressure of Grant Dawson at UFC Fight Night 244 – even if he is coming off a significant knee surgery. Garcia (16-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) will return to the octagon for the first time since April 2023 on Saturday when he meets Dawson (21-2-1 MMA, 9-1-1 UFC) in a lightweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas ( ESPN+ ). “Gifted” underwent surgery in July 2023 for a torn ACL and PCL, and has been working hard toward his comeback ever since.
