Drew Dober will aim to snap his losing skid when he faces the durable Ricky Glenn.
Dober (23-11 MMA, 9-7 UFC) meets Glenn (22-6-2 MMA, 4-3-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night on March 12, which is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
A person with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking with MMA Junkie following a social media announcement by Iridium Sports Agency. The booking has yet to be officially announced by the promotion.
After scoring three consecutive finishes, including back-to-back “Performance of the Night” bonuses against Nasrat Haqparast and Alexander Hernandez, Dober has lost two straight. The Team Elevation power puncher was submitted by Islam Makhachev at UFC 259, followed by a “Fight of the Night” decision loss to Brad Riddell at UFC 263.
In his return to 155 pounds, Glenn scored a 37-second knockout of Joaquim Silva at UFC on ESPN 25 in June. He was then matched up with unbeaten Glory MMA prospect Grant Dawson in October and was able to rally after a slow start, scoring a 10-8 third round on two of the judges’ scorecards, which resulted in a majority draw.
With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for March 12 includes:
- Thiago Santos vs. Magomed Ankalaev
- Marlon Moraes vs. Yadong Song
- Alex Pereira vs. Bruno Silva
- Guido Cannetti vs. Kris Moutinho
- Javid Basharat vs. Trevin Jones
- Cody Brundage vs. Dalcha Lungiambula
- Josh Culibao vs. Damon Jackson
- Mandy Bohm vs. Sabina Mazo
- Alex Caceres vs. Sodiq Yusuff
- Azamat Murzakanov vs. Tafon Nchukwi
