Drew Dober BEFORE the UFC w/ Victory Jay Ep 174
Drew Dober came from Omaha Nebraska to making a name for himself internationally within the confines of the UFC. Drew Dober's tail contains setbacks, dissapointments and a never quit mindset that has paved his way to being a UFC favorite.
Drew Dober started the Ellenberger brothers, Ryan Jenson, Scott Morton and many others discussed in this episode.
Victory Jay from Nitrotickets.com was kind enough to sit in on this episode in order to provide a deeper context into the Midwest grind at the time Drew Dober was fighting; we hope to have many future appearances with him.
