Multiple outlets confirmed the booking after “Moicano” initially
announced the bout on his YouTube channel. UFC Fight Night 235
takes place on Feb. 3 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined
by a middleweight tilt between Roman
Dolidze and Nassourdine
Imavov.
The 35-year-old Dober has been victorious in four of his last five
Octagon appearances. Most recently, the Elevation Fight Team
product defeated Ricky Glenn
via first-round technical knockout at UFC Fight Night 229 on Oct.
7. Dober owns the most KO/TKO victories in the UFC’s lightweight
division with nine.
Carneiro, meanwhile, is 3-1 in his last four UFC bouts but did not
compete at all in 2023. The 34-year-old Brazilian is coming off a
first-round submission triumph over Brad
Riddell at UFC 281 in November 2022.
