This matchup between two unranked fighters from the lightweight division seems to be an interesting one. Both men are UFC veterans and have never fought. Hence, they will look to use their first octagon outing in 2022 to make a statement and secure the win.
Further, considering the outcome of both the fighters’ last bouts, this fight might be a good one for either of them. Dober lost two back-to-back fights in 2021. On the other hand, ‘The Gladiator’ (22-6-2) last fought Grant Dawson to a draw.
