Andrew Martin Dober is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the lightweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). A professional competitor since 2009, he has also competed for Bellator MMA and Titan Fighting Championship. Having trained in MMA since he was 14, Dober was highly successful in Thai boxing, wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu when he was in school. A two-time Amateur World Champion, he holds a 9-0-0 amateur record. The titles he holds include two-time Amateur Muay Thai World National Champion, Fight2Win Amateur Featherweight Champion, and Professional PFC Lightweight Champion. In his professional career, he has won bouts mostly either by KO, or submissions. In July 2017, as per the new weight-cutting rules of The California State Athletic Commission’s (CSAC), Dober weighed 18 per cent more than the specified weight of a competitor in the lightweight division. Consequently, he has been recommended to move up in the heavier weight class, but Dober thinks that he is still not ready to declare himself a welterweight fighter.
