Two very experienced but unranked lightweights go head-to-head in the Apex in the main card event at UFC Fight Night: Cannonier vs. Strickland. Americans Drew Dober and Bobby Green will scrap to ensure they end the year on a high. The two lightweights are certified punchers with resumes copiously sprinkled with knockouts, so fight fans may not be surprised if we get a TKO/KO or a Fight of the Night.. Dober is riding a two-match win streak, including a Performance of the Night award in his last fight at UFC 277. He has been installed as the clear favorite going into the bout. The event will take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, United States of America.

Drew Dober
The 34-year-old joined UFC in late 2013 after being drafted to replace an injured fighter. After one win in his first five fights in the promotion, Dober stabilized the ship with two consecutive victories in 2016 against Scott Holtzman and Jason Gonzalez. 2020 was a good year for him as he won his two fights, bagging Performance of the night awards in both cases. In 2021, the reverse was the case, and he lost the two fights he had that year, including a third-round submission to now Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. Unbeaten this year, Dober earned a Performance of the Night award in his KO of Rafael Alves in July this year, knocking out Alves with a punch to the body in the third round. Dober has twelve knockouts from twenty-five wins.
