THE STATISTICS
THE LOWDOWN
Drew Dober and Marco Polo Reyes are both coming off losses but head to Minneapolis confident of picking up a win and proving they are still a threat in the stacked lightweight division.
Dober makes his 13th UFC appearance and looks to put that experience to good use. His last three losses have been submissions but he has always responded well. After getting submitted by Olivier Aubin-Mercier, he went on an impressive run, beating Josh Burkman, Frank Camacho and Jon Tuck but is now looking to bounce back once again after losing against Beneil Dariush.
Reyes has been knocked out twice in his last three fights courtesy of James Vick and Damir Hadzovic in his last outing but he has looked very exciting and boasts UFC knockouts over Cesar Arzamendia, Dong Hyun Ma and Matt Frevola.
THE PREDICTION
Reyes will come out aggressive in search of another knockout but Dober’s experience will be crucial to weathering the storm. Dober is extremely well-rounded and with a background in Muay Thai, he will back his stand-up to find a knockout of his own. Dober is also a solid grappler and he will use all his tools and experience to find the win.
Winner: Dober via Decision
