Drew dober achieved quite a victory in UFC Vancouver. This Saturday (18), in Canada, the American faced Kyle Prepolec in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg) and had to overcome himself in the octagon. The veteran suffered a shin injury due to the war he fought, ignored the bleeding and knocked out the Canadian in the third round.

During the fight, Dober displayed powerful hands, but also suffered from his opponent's targeted attacks. As he kicked Prepolec, the American also damaged his body with the impact of the blows and the latter's kicks. Even so, the athlete, who suffered a tear in the area, remained standing as best he could and, unwilling to give up, ended up winning in the end.

As expected, after blitzing the Canadian and seeing the referee call the fight, Dober immediately collapsed in the octagon. In any case, the effort and pain were worth it, as the American now has ended his three-fight losing streak.
