German lightweight Nick Hein (10-1) will debut in the UFC in his home country against Drew Dober (14-5) when UFC Fight Night hits the O2 World Arena, headlined by Mark Munoz vs Gegard Mousasi on May 31 in Berlin.
A TUF veteran on The Ultimate Fighter Season 15, Dober was invited back to the UFC following a 5-fight win streak in various domestic promotions. However, the 25-year-old was unsuccessful in his UFC debut; losing a unanimous decision to Sean Spencer. Looking for his first win in the world’s premier MMA organisation, Dober will be in hot pursuit of victory over the German newcomer.
Undefeated in six bouts and with a 4-fight win streak of his own in Europe, Cologne’s Nick Hein will have the chance of a lifetime when he fights in front of 17,000 countrymen. With a background in judo, the 29-year-old won his first four bouts by way of submission.
