Drew Dober leans on video games as he heads into UFC 326

drew dober says he turns to role-playing games like Mass Effect, Skyrim, Baldur’s Gate, Final Fantasy VII and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic to unwind as he prepares to fight Michael Johnson on the main card of UFC 326 in Las Vegas this Saturday night.

Drew Dober keeps calm with sprawling RPGs

When he’s not drilling takedowns or sparring in the gym, Drew Dober has been talking about his favorite video games—Mass Effect and Skyrim among them—which he describes as a way to relax during fight camp. The list also includes Baldur’s Gate, Final Fantasy VII and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, titles he discussed in an interview while on the Las Vegas media circuit ahead of UFC 326.

Training in Colorado with a focus on peak conditioning

drew dober trains at Landow Performance in Centennial and has spent the last month sharpening conditioning and speed with sports performance coach Aaron Porter. Porter said Dober is “the ultimate professional” who consistently shows up and prepares to push the gas when needed. Training partners in Colorado, including Neil Magny, note Dober’s work on the mat and in the training room as he gets ready for the main-card bout.

Record, recent form and what he brings into the octagon

Dober comes to the cage with a 28–15, 1 NC record and holds the UFC lightweight mark for most knockouts with 10. He returned to the win column with a victory over Kyle Prepolec at UFC Vancouver in October, a result that followed three straight losses to Manuel Torres, Jean Silva and Renato Moicano. Those results frame expectations for his matchup with fellow veteran Michael Johnson, a first-time meeting for both fighters on the UFC 326 card.

The immediate goal is clear: Dober will step onto the main card at UFC 326 in Las Vegas on Saturday night to face Michael Johnson. The fight is the next confirmed milestone on his schedule.
