Two rising prospects are set to meet in the Octagon as Marc Diakiese will take on Drakkar Klose at The Ultimate Fighter Finale on July 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Diakiese is undefeated with a 12-0 professional MMA record and turned a lot of heads with his last knockout performance against Teemu Packalen at UFC Fight Night 107. With his flashy style and knockout power, many fans are excited to see what the “Bonecrusher” will bring in his next UFC appearance.
Diakiese’s next fight will be against 7-0-1 fighter Drakkar Klose who is coming off his UFC debut, beating Devin Powell by unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night 103 back in January.
The two got into a hilarious twitter exchange on Wednesday with their fight approaching.
Diakiese: I’ve ordered a nice pillow for @drakkarklose just need the address so I can send it to him lol.
