The hard work that Dober has put into this training camp is finally coming to a conclusion and he is ecstatic to put on a show for the fans.
“We’ve been working on just being a better athlete,” Dober said. “Obviously fixing the holes, but really just trying to get bigger, faster, stronger, and then having a better opportunity to really force my technique. It’s been incredible and I feel really good about it.”

Dober’s opponent this weekend has seven wins by knockout and eight by submission. Alves’ strengths on the ground are something that the 33-year-old is fully aware of as fight night approaches, but he is prepared for whatever the Brazilian may bring into the Octagon.
“He is really athletic and has a pretty solid guillotine,” Dober said. “Outside of that, he’s enthusiastic and chaotic, so I’m not quite sure what he is going to bring in the 15 minutes in which we’re in there, but I know he’s going to try and put some things on me really quick. I’m just ready for whichever Rafael shows up.”
