Dober vs. Reyes.

Having lost two of his last three fights, Mexican Lightweight Marco Polo Reyes had a lot riding on his bout against Drew Dober - who also needed a big win after losing his last fight against Beneil Dariush in March.

The fight was loaded with kicks, to begin with, as both men used their legs to good effect. Dober got the better of the exchange as he hurt Reyes with a left-hand strike.

Reyes was in a bad spot and instinctively shot for the takedown. Dober had him covered and stunned him with another left. Another big left and Reyes was cornered. Reyes' legs gave way and Dober did the needful by applying the finishing touches before the referee stepped in.

Result: Drew Dober def. Marco Polo Reyes via TKO (punches) (1:07, Round One)

That was quite a statement from Dober. As for Reyes, the former TUF contestant's UFC future looks bleak at this point with two back-to-back knockout losses.
