Drew Dober is scheduled to face Jon Tuck at UFC Lincoln in a lightweight bout. But that weight class has yet to be officially approved by the Nebraska Athletic Commission (NAC), MMA Fighting has learned.
Dober was moved up a weight class by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) last year after he weighed 18 percent over the contracted lightweight limit on fight day at UFC 214. The CSAC 10-point weight-cutting reform plan states that the commission can recommend a fighter move up in weight if he or she comes into fight day more than 10 percent above the contracted weight.
