Denver-Based UFC Fighter Represents Colorado in Saturday Night Showdown A Denver-based UFC fighter will be representing Colorado in the octagon this Saturday night in Las Vegas. Drew Dober, a UFC lightweight, is set to compete in the main card of UFC 326. The 37-year-old has been training at Landow Performance in Centennial, where he has been working closely with sports performance coach Aaron Porter. Dober, known for his high-paced and entertaining fights, is preparing for his matchup against fellow lightweight veteran Michael Johnson, a first-time encounter between the two. Porter, who has been coaching Dober for about seven years, emphasized the focus on refining his physical condition and readiness for the fight. "Improving your shape, getting a little bit faster, getting your conditioning at the peak, so that when he goes in there Saturday night, he's confident, done all the work that he's supposed to do, and he's able to push the gas when he wants," Porter explained. The coach highlighted Dober's professionalism, noting his consistency and hunger to perform. "Drew is the ultimate professional. He always shows up. He's consistent, reliable. He's excited to work hard. He's very hungry," Porter added. Dober holds the record for the most knockouts in the UFC lightweight division and has competed in over a dozen fights. His preparation for Saturday's event has included intense training sessions with Porter, who described the matchup as a "good dancing partner" for Dober. "There is a lot of build-up, and this is a good matchup for him, too. The opponent is an exciting guy. He's going to bring it as well. So, I think that always gives Drew a little bit more excitement knowing that he has a good dancing partner," Porter said.#ufc_326 #drew_dober #aaron_porter #michael_johnson #landow_performance
