Drew Dober scored a massive knockout against Bobby Green on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 216.
After struggling with his opponent’s counterpunching, Dober (26-11 MMA, 12-7 UFC) scored a big knockout at the 2:45 mark of Round 2 when he clattered a left hand off the head of Green (29-14-1 MMA, 10-9-1 UFC) at the UFC Apex.
In the opening round, Dober pushed the pace as Green circled around the inside perimeter of the fence. Green utilized a beautiful boxing arsenal, including slick counterpunching to keep Dober at bay. Kicks were popular, particularly at the end of the round – and particularly in the favor of Green.
In Round 2, Green continued his display of vintage showmanship – including some hands-up taunting, both of quick and lengthy variations. Dober landed a nice spinning back fist, but Green was back to his attack within moments.
The exchanges got more frequent and more aggressive, as both men landed right hands. A wicked left hand from Dober whiffed – but a second one connected. And it only took one. Green folded to the canvas, toppling over backward.

Green fell into a two-fight skid. He is 2-2 in his most recent four.
