4. Drew Dober delivers Justin Gaethje’s encore
[autotag]Drew Dober[/autotag] said prior to his fight with Alexander Hernandez that he wanted to carry the momentum of good friend and teammate Justin Gaethje stemming from his interim lightweight title win over Tony Ferguson at UFC 249 this past week. Well, he certainly did that.
Just like Gaethje, the key to victory for Dober was putting on a striking clinic against someone who didn’t react well to his power. He hit Hernandez over and over before finally finishing the fight with a standing TKO – which was an eerily similar position to how Gaethje stopped Ferguson.
With a 7-1 record when fighting in the UFC at 155 pounds, Dober is worthy of a top 15 ranking in the sport’s deepest division and a matchup that jives with that position. He’s good, and it’ll be interesting to see what his ceiling in the sport ultimately ends up being.
