Drew Dober showed that his power carries late into fights when he stopped Rafael Alves at UFC 277 . Dober (25-11 MMA, 12-6 UFC) went to war with Alves (20-11 MMA, 1-2 UFC) on Saturday in their lightweight bout at American Airlines Center in Dallas, and he closed the show at the 1:33 mark of Round 3 when he hit Alves with a savage left hook to the body that immediately sent him to the canvas.
