A.J. Dobson (6-0) - who went 5-1 as a novice in front of his 2016 expert introduction - required only 35 seconds to crush Contender Series veteran Kailan Hill and secure his own spot on the program. He continued to benefit as much as possible from the open door by stifling out Hashem Arkhagha in Sept. 2021.
Everything except one of his expert successes have dropped by first-round stoppage, four of them within two minutes.
Jacob Malkoun (5-1) got abandoned in his Octagon debut, a 18-second knockout misfortune to individual possibility Phil Hawes at UFC 254. His sophomore exertion went a piece better, however, ruling Abdul Razak Alhassan for a consistent choice success.

I truly feel like the Hawes misfortune is making individuals disregard Malkoun. The man has proficient boxing experience and an ADCC-commendable Brazilian jiu-jitsu game. Without a doubt, he got crushed in his presentation, however he's not the sort of fellow you set in opposition to a possibility as green as Dobson. While Dobson most certainly has sufficient ability to rehash Hawes' prosperity, Malkoun demonstrated his capacity to stop a risky striker in the Alhassan battle.
Malkoun inclined only on his wrestling against Alhassan and I anticipate that he should do likewise here. Inasmuch as he can endure Dobson's underlying berserker barrage, he wears out the rookie with takedowns and eventually hammers him out.
