8 Fights To Make After UFC 246

5. Drew Dober Vs. Alexander Hernandez

Following a fantastic knockout win over highly touted prospect, Nasrat Haqparast, Drew Dober seems to be on the brink of breaking into the lightweight division's top-15. The 31-year old has finished his last two opponents in the first round, so he's starting to build up some steam and catch the attention of fans.

A really interesting opponent for him would be Alexander Hernandez. Despite a crushing loss to Donald Cerrone, Hernandez has proven himself to be quite the talent. In fact, some are touting him as someone who could potentially become a titleholder in the future. He's got a relatively well-rounded game, but his real power lies in his hands. His shocking knockout win over Beneil Dariush in his UFC debut is a perfect example of the finishing ability the 27-year oldhas.

After being knocked out by Cerrone, Hernandez looked quite tentative in his next fight against Francisco Trinaldo on UFC on ESPN: Edwards Vs. Dos Anjos, yet managed to secure the win. If he's feeling a little more confident and willing to open up during exchanges with Dober, we could see a really interesting firefight between these two scrappers.
