"I'm on cloud nine right now. At the end of the day, I'm such a fan of Michael Johnson. I definitely know how dangerous he is. So in this fight, I was nervous, because my hands were full with Michael Johnson."
"I have to mature as a fighter, because there's a ton of tape on me, so I think people are going to come in with a game plan. And I've got to keep moving forward, so that I'm still unpredictable. That's how we found the knockout."
"It was right before I left, I saw like one Tweet. I actually didn't know if it was sarcasm, like a sarcastic Tweet. But I'm just now hearing about it for the first time. I don't follow betting, I'm not a gambler, I wouldn't even know how to."
Drew Dober secured a second-round knockout victory over Michael Johnson at UFC 326 in Las Vegas, extending his record as the lightweight division's knockout leader with 11 total knockouts. Following the fight, Dober expressed admiration for Johnson while acknowledging the challenge he presented.
