Love in the Octagon: A UFC Love Story with a Twist
Drew Dober's romantic journey began in the ring, where he encountered his future first wife, Gloria, under rather unusual circumstances. In 2014, Dober (27-15) battled Nick Hein (50774) in a UFC Fight Night in Berlin, Germany. Despite Dober's disagreement with the judges' decision, which went against him, he found more than just a fight that night.
But here's where it gets intriguing: At the post-fight party, Dober met Hein's family and was introduced to his sister, Gloria. Sparks flew between the two, and they tied the knot the very next year! In a surprising twist, Dober married his opponent's sister, as he revealed in an interview with Against the Fence.

However, Dober and Gloria's marriage didn't last, and Dober has since moved on. He is now married to Hollis Casey, referring to his new relationship as "Round 2," which he believes is far better than the first.
As for his professional life, Dober is gearing up for a crucial fight against newcomer Kyle Prepolec (18-9) at UFC Vancouver. Dober aims to break his three-fight losing streak, while Prepolec looks to rebound from a submission loss in his Octagon debut.
