Drew Dober has quickly announced himself as one of the most entertaining competitors on the roster and the rising lightweight always comes to put on a show, but who is he fighting next?
After bringing an end to his losing streak with a win over the short-notice Terrance McKinney, the knockout artist is enduring a good vein of form inside the octagon. The 34-year-old has managed to fight his way into the top 15 at 155lbs and looks determined to climb the rankings, putting on spectacles with each appearance.
As announced on social media earlier today, an affair between Drew Dober and Matt Frevola could steal the show as an agreement is being worked on to have them compete at UFC 288 in May.

After suffering back-to-back losses to both Arman Tsarukyan and 'T.Wrecks', Matt Frevola got back to winning ways in a huge way, scoring knockouts against Genaro Valdez and the then-undefeated Ottman Azaitar. 'The Streamrolla' holds a win over the promising Jalin Turner who is currently ranked #10 in the division.
Dober is carrying a three-fight win streak and will be confident of getting a result and advancing towards a top 10 spot in the weight class. With three finishes from three, the powerhouse has knocked out Bobby Green, Rafael Alves, and the aforementioned Terrance McKinney.
Although he has competed against some high-level opponents, the Taekwondo Black Belt will likely serve as Frevola's toughest test to date and brings with him almost a decade-long experience fighting in the octagon.
