We’ve got an update for you, fight fans. Drew Dober is gonna be squaring off against Renato Carneiro. This clash is now part of the UFC Fight Night 235 lineup.
Now, how did we get wind of this? Well, the news was first dropped by “Moicano” on his YouTube channel. Other outlets picked it up and confirmed the booking.
So, when’s it happening? UFC Fight Night 235 is set for Feb. 3. The location? The UFC Apex in Las Vegas. And the main event? A middleweight bout between Roman Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavov.
Now, let’s talk about Dober. The guy is 35 and has been on a winning streak. He’s come out on top in four of his last five Octagon appearances. His latest victory? He defeated Ricky Glenn at UFC Fight Night 229 on Oct. 7. And get this: Dober’s racked up the most KO/TKO victories in the UFC’s lightweight division. He’s got nine under his belt.
On the other side, we’ve got Carneiro. He’s a year younger at 34 and hails from Brazil. His record? He’s 3-1 in his last four UFC bouts. But, he didn’t compete at all in 2023. His last fight was a first-round submission win over Brad Riddell at UFC 281. That was back in November 2022.
