Is Drew Dober finally ready to break through?
For someone whose introduction to UFC fans was losing a win-to-get-into-the-house fight on “The Ultimate Fighter 13,” [autotag]Drew Dober[/autotag] sure has become a reliable part of the scenery in the promotion.
Dober’s been on the roster since 2013, and along the way, win or lose, he’s been one of those guys who, if you see he’s on the card, you can rest assured he’s going to give the fans their money’s worth in terms of effort.
But in recent outings, Dober (22-9 MMA, 8-5 UFC), based out of Denver’s Elevation gym, has been making real headway, and Wednesday just might be his time to bust out with a breakout performance.
The brash Alexander Hernandez has gotten most of the hype. But Dober, in fact, has won five straight, including two in a row. Both of those wins were knockouts in 1:10 or less, most recently a “Performance of the Night” winning effort against Nasrat Haqparast at UFC 246. A win over an up-and-comer like Hernandez (11-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) would serve as a statement that Dober has finally arrived.
