LAS VEGAS – There was a time when Drew Dober pushed hard for a matchup with Paddy Pimblett, but now he thinks it’s an act of futility.
When Pimblett (20-3 MMA, 4-0 UFC) was looking for an opponent to fight at UFC 282 this past weekend, Dober (25-11 MMA, 12-6 UFC) threw his name in the hat hoping for a chance to fight the surging British star. It didn’t materialize, and the promotion instead booked a pairing with Jared Gordon.
Pimblett won the fight, but it wasn’t without controversy...
