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.
