Drakkar Klose vs Jeremy Stephens Set for UFC Fight Night: Whittaker vs Costa

Drakkar Klose (11-2-1, 5-2 UFC) will be over a year removed from his last fight when he steps in the cage on April 17th. Klose has dealt quite well with the difficult list of opponents that he’s faced. Wins over the likes of Marc Diakese, Lando Vannata, Bobby Green, Christos Giagos have Klose knocking on the door of the top-15.

Jeremy Stephens (28-18 1 NC, 15-16 1 NC UFC) hasn’t been in the win column since finishing Josh Emmett in February of 2018. He’s moving up to lightweight for the first time since 2012. There’s no doubt Stephens is starving for a win, so expect him to bring it on April 17th.
