UFC Fight Night 216 results: Drew Dober folds Bobby Green into unconsciousness with massive left hand

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.

With the win, Dober extended his winning streak to three and tied Dustin Poirier for most knockouts in UFC lightweight history with eight. After the fight, Dober called out 6-foot-3 lightweight Jalin Turner.

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