"Both southpaw fighters met in the middle of the cage to start the opening round. Johnson was the first one to land clean, with a solid leg kick on the inside. Dober responded with a kick to the body, but Johnson was able to counter with a three punch combo. Dober seemed hesitant to throw in the first two minutes as Johnson seemed to be finding a rhythm."
"In the second, Dober came out more aggressive looking to land a big left hand. Dober landed a solid kick to the body and narrowly missed on a spinning back kick. Moments later Dober landed a picture perfect straight left hand that separated Johnson from consciousness. The 11th knockout win in Dober's career, he should earn himself a high level fight next time out."
Drew Dober and Michael Johnson, two veteran lightweights meeting for the first time, competed on the UFC 326 main card. Johnson controlled the opening round with superior speed and striking combinations, landing clean leg kicks and counters while Dober appeared hesitant. In the second round, Dober increased aggression and landed a picture-perfect straight left hand that knocked Johnson unconscious at 1:53. The victory marked Dober's 11th knockout win and positions him for a high-level opponent in his next bout.
