BLOCKBUSTER BANTAMWEIGHT CONTENDERS’ BOUT! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) departs APEX for a special “Fight Night” extravaganza at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Sat., March 25, 2023, featuring a pair of thrilling 135-pound bouts. Surging No. 4-ranked contender Marlon Vera goes for his fifth consecutive win when he takes on exciting finisher and No. 5-seeded Cory Sandhagen. In UFC San Antonio’s ESPN+streamed co-main event, former women’s 135-pound champion and current No. 3-ranked Holly Holm battles Yana Santos (No. 4).
Green was in control from the opening bell as he kept his distance, picked Dober apart, and started to pull away on the scorecards. Dober hung around as he always does and kept “King” on high alert. During an exchange along the cage in the second round Dober was able to connect on a massive left hand. Green toppled to the canvas and the referee stepped in for the stoppage before Dober could score any additional damage.

Dober, 34, has now captured three-equally impressive knockout wins in 2022 and just tied Dustin Poirier for most knockout wins in UFC history (8). This was a great showing for Dober as he tries to push his way into the top 15, which is why the veteran fighter called out Jalin Turner after his victory.
