Drew Dober - News & Rumors - UFC

Fighting at UFC 326 Dober will fight Michael Johnson at UFC 326 on March 7, Nolan King of USA Today reports.

Impact Dober earned a win over Kyle Prepolec in October to break what had been a three-fight losing streak. He'll now aim to string together back-to-back wins, though doing so could be tough against an opponent who has a 3.5-inch reach advantage and has won three straight bouts.

Earns late stoppage in weird fight Dober defeated Kyle Prepolec via TKO (strikes) at 1:16 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Vancouver.

Impact What a weird fight. Dober dominated early on as a -330 favorite and it looked as if he might get the ever-durable Prepolec out of there in Round 1. When it didn't happen, the latter slowly began to find his range and Dober found himself in legitimate trouble. Things were trending poorly for Drew early in Round 3, at which point he blasted Prepolec with a vicious, accidental low blow. Dober was docked a point and Kyle took the entire five minutes to recover. Knowing he could likely do no better than a draw on the scorecards, Dober went nuts as soon as action resumed and got the stoppage. Now 36 years old, Drew entered having lost three straight. Were it not for this extremely odd set of circumstances, his time with the company quite possible could have been over.

Struggles continue in Mexico City Dober lost to Manuel Torres via TKO (punches) at 1:45 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.

Impact When we last saw Dober in Denver last July, he was taking an all-time beating from Jean Silva and still lasting until early in Round 3. Here, he was finished off by Torres in a span of 105 seconds. Dober was dropped with a right hand and then ate countless unanswered strikes after grabbing onto the leg of Torres. Perhaps referee Mike Beltran could have allowed it to continue a little longer, but Drew was in pretty deep trouble. Now 36 years old, Dober has lost three in a row and four of five (including three via knockout) dating back to May 2023. Time is almost up.
