A lightweight showdown pitting
Drew Dober
against
Renato
Carneiro
has been added to the
UFC Fight Night 235 lineup.
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.
