Struggles continue in Mexico City
LightweightUFC
March 29, 2025
Dober lost to Manuel Torres via TKO (punches) at 1:45 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
When we last saw Dober in Denver last July, he was taking an all-time beating from Jean Silva and still lasting until early in Round 3. Here, he was finished off by Torres in a span of 105 seconds. Dober was dropped with a right hand and then ate countless unanswered strikes after grabbing on to the leg of Torres. Perhaps referee Mike Beltran could have allowed it to continue a little longer, but Drew was in pretty deep trouble. Now 36 years old, Dober has lost three in a row and four of five (including three via knockout) dating back to May 2023. Time is almost up.

Dober will take on Manuel Torres in a lightweight matchup at UFC Mexico on March 29, CC Legaspi of ESPN Deportes reports.
ANALYSIS
Dober is a gritty veteran who was ranked in a deep lightweight division at one point, but now finds himself on the losing end of three of his last four fights. He's nothing if not entertaining, however, as Dober has picked up a post-fight bonus in four of his last six trips to the cage, including his July doctor's stoppage loss to Jean Silva in Round 3. Things won't get any easier against Torres, as Dober will have to head into enemy territory to face a fighter with height, reach and volume striking advantages. Torres is also a capable wrestler, though this has the makings of a high-volume, fan-friendly affair.
Displays heart in epic defeat

Dober lost to Jean Silva via TKO (doctor stoppage) at 1:28 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
It's the rare fight in which everyone walks out a winner. Dober has been training in Colorado forever and entered with the crowd firmly behind him. He put forth a very competent showing, matching Silva blow-for-blow and frequently getting the better of him at times. Unfortunately for Drew, he developed one of the nastiest cuts you will ever see above his right eyebrow. Referee Herb Dean and the doctor checked it at the end of Round 2 and let Dober continue, but after eating some huge blows early in Round 3, were finally forced to pull the plug. Dober is the ultimate warrior and still has plenty of gas left in the tank at age 35, but with back-to-back defeats on his resume, he needs to get back in the win column sooner rather than later. On the bright side, he'll walk away with an extra $50,000 after this back-and-forth war was awarded Fight of the Night honors.
