Dober’s resilience finally paid off halfway into the second round as he connected cleanly on Green. He then followed a downed Green to the mat to do the final honors.

However, Dober pulled another comeback win with a one-punch knockout of the 36-year-old veteran.

Dober also equaled lightweight legend Dustin Poirier in another lightweight division record, with 8 knockouts.

Dober gave credit to Green after that hard-fought battle. He said, “Can I say, Bobby Green is the only man in the last quarter to say yes to me? Take chances, chase greatness. Being perfect is boring. He’s fast, he’s hard to hit. He can talk. It was hard to deal with but I’m blessed that I found it.”

Post his win, Dober called out fellow UFC lightweight Jalin Turner for another scrap. “I think there’s a guy in the top 10 … Jalin Turner. I would love those problems. Please say yes.”

Dober also made it clear that he wanted to surpass Poirier and become the fighter with the most knockouts in the division.
