Dollaway graduated from Northmor High School in Mount Gilead, Ohio where he was a state champion wrestler in the 171 lb weight class. After high school Dollaway attended Colby Community College in Colby, Kansas. While at Colby, Dollaway won the JUCO National Championships. Soon after, Dollaway moved to Tempe, Arizona to attend Arizona State University where he earned a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies with a concentration in sociology and justice studies. Wrestling since the age of five, Dollaway continued the sport at Arizona State University, earning All-American status in 2006, taking 5th place in the 184 lb. bracket as a tenth seed.
Dollaway recently left Arizona Combat Sports to train at Power MMA and Fitness with The Ultimate Fighter 8 Light Heavyweight winner Ryan Bader.
Dollaway appeared on the seventh season of the reality television series, The Ultimate Fighter. He earned a spot on the show when he defeated David Baggett by TKO. Rampage Jackson won the initial coin toss and decided to pick the first fighter, Dollaway. Dollaway did not have his first fight until the last preliminary fight, going up against Nick Klein. Dollaway defeated Klein by guillotine choke in the second round. Dollaway then went on to fight Cale Yarbrough in the quarter-finals. Dollaway won the fight by TKO in the first round. Dollaway's next opponent was the future winner of the show Amir Sadollah, Sadollah won by an armbar submission in the third round. After Jesse Taylor was forced out of the show, Dana White needed someone to fight Sadollah in the finale. Dollaway and Tim Credeur fought to see who would be in the finale. After three rounds, Dollaway won by unanimous decision. Sadollah defeated Dollaway for the second time by armbar to win the show. Although it appeared that Dollaway had tapped, shortly after the fight he proclaimed he did not in fact tap, which Joe Rogan disputed.
Following up on his loss at The Ultimate Finale, where he was runner-up, he was offered a fight against fighter Jesse Taylor at UFC: Silva vs. Irvin where he won by Peruvian necktie in the first round. This was the first time in UFC history this submission was successfully used and earned Dollaway submission of the night.
At UFC 92, Dollaway returned to action, for his eighth fight of 2008, against Mike Massenzio, a fighter who he had formerly defeated in his Junior College wrestling career. Dollaway defeated Massenzio by TKO due to punches at 3:01 of the first round. After being stunned by a Massenzio punch and nearly being caught in a guillotine choke, Dollaway secured top position, took Massenzio's back and punished his opponent with punches until the referee halted the bout. After the stoppage Dollaway celebrated with a howl similar to that of his coach on The Ultimate Fighter, Quinton Jackson. Massenzio later stated that Dollaway tapped out during their match.[2]
Dollaway had his fourth fight for the UFC taking on Tom Lawlor at UFC 100 on the preliminary card.[3] In the beginning of the bout, Dollaway shot for a take down but was quickly countered via guillotine choke. Lawlor tightly locked the hold, moments later, Lawlor looked up to the ref stating Dollaway had passed out, ending the bout 55 seconds into the first round.
He was scheduled to fight Dan Miller on September 16, 2009 at UFC Fight Night 19, but Miller got an infection and had to withdraw. Newcomer Jay Silva[4][5] was named as his replacement who he dominated, winning by unanimous decision.
Dollaway next faced Goran Reljic on February 21, 2010 at UFC 110.[6] Dollaway was able to win via unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 29–28.
Dollaway faced Joe Doerksen on September 25, 2010 at UFC 119.[7] Dollaway defeated Doerksen by modified guillotine choke at 2:47 of the opening frame. In this bout, Dollaway showed good patience, refusing to let go of the one arm in guillotine choke hold, but also not tiring out his arms. Then a scrambled ensued, with Dollaway switching to a modified guillotine choke and getting a submission. He was awarded his second Submission of the Night award for this submission victory.
Dollaway faced Mark Muñoz on March 3, 2011 at UFC Live: Sanchez vs. Kampmann and lost by knockout for the first time in his career at only 54 seconds of the first round.
Dollaway was defeated via second round TKO by Jared Hamman on August 14, 2011 at UFC on Versus 5.[8]
