Drew Dober’s battle with the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) to get cleared to fight at lightweight is over. And Dober is fine to continue his career at 155 pounds.
CSAC cleared Dober to fight against Jon Tuck at lightweight on the UFC Lincoln card Aug. 25 in Nebraska, commission executive officer Andy Foster told MMA Fighting on Friday. Dober was moved up to a minimum of 165 pounds after UFC 214 in July 2017 after coming into fight night well over the CSAC weight-cutting regulations.
After a process that included getting physician clearance and receiving multiple weight checks over Skype or FaceTime with CSAC, Dober was approved Friday after weighing 168 pounds, Foster said.
