The “Steamrolla” flattened another favored foe, and he’s got a high-profile target in his sights.
bust up and finish off lightweight knockout artist Drew Dober in the featured prelim via first-round knockout to close out the ESPN-aired portion of UFC 288 at Prudential Center on Saturday night.
Frevola battered the top-15 Dober mostly from the outside, avoiding the 34-year-old’s notorious power and passing the biggest test of his career and leaving Newark with a third consecutive first-round KO finish.The 32-year-old, who needed just 4:08 to be the first to score a knockout on the longtime UFC veteran Dober in 12 years, repeated in the cage the callout he has been making for months: He wants lightweight lightning rod Paddy Pimblett next.
“Look at Drew Dober; he gave me the opportunity,” Frevola said. “He didn’t have to fight back in the rankings and do that. I think that there’s a lot of fun, exciting fights in the lightweight division in the UFC, not just ranked guys.” Frevola, who pulls for the Mets, Jets and Islanders, had tossed out the first pitch at the April 28 game at Citi Field and, while visiting the owner’s suite, invited the Cohens to his fight.Zuffa LLC via Getty Images
