Griffin starched Song Kenan with a knockout at 2:20 of round one in Saturday's co-main event slot. It was a short-notice promotion for Griffin and Kenan after Gregor Gillespie vs. Brad Riddell fell through.
Dawson was ahead on two of the judges scorecards, but he was not about to let them get involved. Dawson stood up from Leonardo Santos' guard and sniped him with heavy ground-and-pound. Dawson separated his opponent from consciousness and picked up the KO win with one second left in round three.
Silva opened the UFC Vegas 22 prelims with a TKO of J.P. Buys less than three minutes into the opening segment.
Yanez wore down Gustavo Lopez over the course of two full rounds before finishing him less than 30-seconds into the final stanza.
