A lightweight banger is headed to Denver.
Drew Dober takes on Mike Davis at UFC Fight Night on July 13 from Ball Arena in Denver. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie following an initial report from The Denver Post.
Tied with Dustin Poirier for most knockouts in UFC lightweight history, Dober’s past seven wins have come by knockout. Dober (27-12 MMA, 13-8 UFC) will look to rebound on home soil after dropping a unanimous decision to Renato Moicano at UFC Fight Night 235 in February.
Davis (11-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) returned from an 18-month layoff due to injuries to submit Natan Levy at UFC Fight Night 239 in March. The 31-year-old has won four straight since dropping his short-notice UFC debut to Gilbert Burns.
With the addition, the July 13 lineup includes:
- Maycee Barber vs. Rose Namajunas
- Mike Malott vs. Gilbert Urbina
- Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Muslim Salikhov
- Gabriel Bonfim vs. Ange Loosa
- Mariya Agapova vs. Luana Santos
- Viviane Araujo vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
- Cody Brundage vs. Abdul Razak Alhassan
- Julian Erosa vs. Christian Rodriguez
- Josh Fremd vs. Andre Petroski
- Mike Davis vs. Drew Dober
