Lightweights Joe Solecki
and Drakkar
Klose are slated to trade leather at a UFC
Fight Night event on Dec. 2.
Klose confirmed the pairing on social media following an initial
report from Eurosport.
The card doesn’t yet have a determined location but is also
expected to include a middleweight bout between Jared
Cannonier and Roman
Dolidze.
After starting his UFC journey with a three consecutive victories,
Solecki suffered his first promotional defeat in a
closely-contested split-decision against Jared
Gordon in 2021. The 30-year-old bounced back with a majority
decision win over Alex da Silva before submitting Carl Deaton
earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Klose went on a two-year hiatus following a TKO loss to
Beneil
Dariush at UFC 248. Klose returned to action last year with a
bonus-winning knockout of Brandon
Jenkins and followed it up with a decision victory over
Rafa
Garcia.
