Grant Dawson renews attack on Batman's no-kill rule ahead of UFC 333
The UFC lightweight, who is slated to face Nurullo Aliev in Abu Dhabi, also returned to José Youngs's Anything But Fighting show to praise the animated Justice League and to criticise Superman.
Grant Dawson has returned to José Youngs's Anything But Fighting show to keep up a long-running campaign against Batman's refusal to kill.
The UFC lightweight's latest appearance on the show also covered a love of the animated Justice League and Teen Titans series, as well as a complaint that Superman is too much of a boy scout.
Dawson (24-3-1) is slated to fight Nurullo Aliev at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi. The American's most recent outing was a submission win over Mateusz Rębecki at UFC 328 in May, when Dawson choked out the Polish fighter to return to winning ways after a knockout defeat by Manuel Torres at UFC 323.
Dawson's grappling-heavy approach shows in the numbers. Dawson holds the UFC lightweight record for the highest control time percentage, at 69.7%, and has the second-highest top-position percentage in the division's history, at 62.3%.
