Drew Dober: Me not fighting Chandler at UFC White House a ‘disservice to Americans’

Drew Dober made some precise picks for fighters he would train, fight or party with. 

Dober was asked to choose between Michael Chandler, Ilia Topuria, and Josh Hokit to train, fight, or party with. Dober picked Chandler to fight without hesitation. While Chandler is booked to fight Mauricio Ruffy at UFC White House on June 14, Dober believes it should have been him instead of Ruffy.

 “Why am I not fighting Michael Chandler on this card?” Dober told Max Warin on YouTube. “It’s a disservice to Americans, I feel. First and foremost, I will fight Michael Chandler.”

Dober wants to train with Topuria to learn his knockout skills. While Dober is somewhat of a knockout artist himself, he notes that “El Matador” has been putting legends to sleep.

“I would train with [Ilia] Topuria,’ Dober said. “Because 5-foot-7 knocking people out. Dude, teach me your ways. I know I knock people out but he is doing it to cooler people.”

A Potential Spectacle

That left Dober with only Hokit to choose for partying. Hokit has quickly gained attention in the UFC with his brash WWE-style promos. While Dober is unsure if he wants to party with Hokit, he wouldn’t mind watching “The Incredible Hok” make a fool of himself.

“I would party with Hokit,” Dober said. “I don’t know if I want to party with him. I will just stand back and watch because he going to make an ass of himself and I’m gonna love watching that.”

Dober (29-15) is coming off back-to-back stoppage wins, most recently against Michael Johnson this past March.
