Drew Dober proved he's still as dangerous as ever.
Dober (29-15 MMA, 15-11 UFC) blasted Michael Johnson (24-20 MMA, 16-16 UFC) with a big left hand which sent him to the canvas at the 1:53 mark of Round 2. The lightweight bout was part of the UFC 326 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Johnson landed a nice low kick to start off Round 1, as Dober fired back with a body kick. Johnson stung Dober with a left hand. Dober connected with a left hook, but was met by a Johnson left in return. Dober sat down with a right hand, and followed it up with a low kick. Both fighters appeared to respect each other's power until Johnson landed a big left, the biggest shot of the round.
Dober came out more aggressively in Round 2 as Johnson looked to time the counter. Dober landed a body kick and slightly missed on a spinning wheel kick attempt which drew a smile from Johnson. Shortly after, Dober lunged in with a straight left which stiffened Johnson.
After losing three-straight for the first time in his career, Dober has now won back-to-back fights. His knockout of Johnson extended his UFC lightweight record to 11.
