Write-up
Drew Dober holds significant statistical advantages in striking volume, accuracy, and durability. Prepolec is hit frequently, absorbs more strikes than he lands, and has a low takedown defense, making him vulnerable to Dober's pressure boxing and power. Dober also boasts higher finishing rates and a proven record against UFC-level competition, while Prepolec has minimal finishing metrics and has struggled defensively.
