Dober is married to Denver native, Hollis Casey. The fighter proposed to Casey back in November 2020 and soon tied the know. The duo celebrated their anniversary on August 14. The couple has been together for about five years now. But how did they meet?

In an interview on Outside the Cage, Casey revealed that she met Dober online. The fighter was already a part of the UFC back when he decided to strike up a conversation with Casey and slid into her DMs. Regardless, Casey ghosted him because she thought that Dober was so full of himself. But as the conversation proceeded, she realized how sweet and polite the lightweight was. And when they met, sparks flew and the duo couldn’t help themselves from falling in for each other. “It was instant chemistry,” Casey confirmed in the interview. Soon, in 2023, the couple became parents and welcomed a beautiful baby daughter. 

Casey, as a professional, has quite a diverse background. She has ventured into the lands of sales, nursing, fundraising, and photography. She was the Director of Sales at Aspen Baking Co., Denver, from 2014 to 2020. She also traversed to the role of health insurance associate at HCR ManorCare and is a certified nursing assistant. Casey helped in the fundraising campaign for the Alumni Association at the University of Northern Colorado, as well. Without a doubt, her professional records are nothing short of impressive.
