Lightweights Drew Dober, Renato ‘Moicano’ to Meet at UFC Fight Night 235 on Feb. 3

A lightweight showdown pitting Drew Dober against Renato Carneiro has been added to the UFC Fight Night 235 lineup.

Multiple outlets confirmed the booking after “Moicano” initially announced the bout on his YouTube channel. UFC Fight Night 235 takes place on Feb. 3 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a middleweight tilt between Roman Dolidze and Nassourdine Imavov.

The 35-year-old Dober has been victorious in four of his last five Octagon appearances. Most recently, the Elevation Fight Team product defeated Ricky Glenn via first-round technical knockout at UFC Fight Night 229 on Oct. 7. Dober owns the most KO/TKO victories in the UFC’s lightweight division with nine.

Carneiro, meanwhile, is 3-1 in his last four UFC bouts but did not compete at all in 2023. The 34-year-old Brazilian is coming off a first-round submission triumph over Brad Riddell at UFC 281 in November 2022.
