Kamaru Usman has congratulated Drew Dober on his impressive finish of Terrance McKinney at UFC Vegas 50. Dober stopped the red-hot prospect via TKO in the first round.

The UFC welterweight champion reacted to Dober's big win by commenting on one of the Nebraska native's recent Instagram posts:

"Congrats my man"

McKinney looked like he was about to score his sixth straight first-round finish inside the cage, as he had Dober in serious trouble in the opening stages of the fight. However, Dober incredibly turned the tables on his opponent. The 33-year-old unleashed a flurry of heavy strikes on McKinney from the top position, forcing the referee to stop the bout at the 3:17 mark of the first round.

Drew Dober interested in Bobby Green fight

After an impressive showing against Terrance McKinney, it appears that Drew Dober already has his sights set on his next fight, and he has another exciting opponent in mind.

Speaking to the media at the post-fight press conference, Dober stated that he would be open to returning to the cage as soon as his body heals up. Furthermore, the lightweight revealed that a fight against Bobby Green is what truly excites him at the moment, although he also has a bunch of other more illustrious opponents in mind:

"I hate long layoffs... I got to check with my body and see what I'm capable of, but that Bobby Green fight looks a lot of fun... And so guys like Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor, guys that have theatrical very fun fights, Donald Cerrone. These are the guys that I want to fight. I don't want to sneak my way into the rankings and to the title... I just want to have bangers and crowd favorites for one or two fights and then keep pumping up."
