Tommy Gantt
Blue CornerDrakkar Klose is looking to build on that huge win over Edson Barboza back in August, where he grinded out a unanimous decision against one of the division's most dangerous strikers. That was a statement fight for Klose, showing he can hang with elite competition. Now he's taking on Tommy Gantt, who's coming off a nasty second round TKO win over Artur Minev in May. Gantt looked scary in that one, landing 72 strikes at an 86% clip before finishing it with punches from back control. The dude can wrestle and he's got finishing instincts. Here's the thing though.
- Klose riding high after beating Barboza in August
- Gantt's brutal back control finish still fresh in everyone's mind
- Veteran experience versus hungry newcomer energy
If Gantt gets this to the mat in round two, that's when his finishing instincts take over.
Klose has been through wars with the best lightweights on the planet. He's got that veteran savvy and he knows how to win ugly when he needs to. Remember when he slammed Joe Solecki into oblivion back in 2023? That was brutal. But fans also remember that brutal knee KO loss to Joel Alvarez in December 2024. That's the risk with Klose, he's always in exciting fights but he can get caught.
Gantt's got the momentum and he's hungry to prove he belongs in the deep end of the lightweight pool. His wrestling looked legit against Minev, hitting 6 of 17 takedowns and controlling over five minutes. If he can drag Klose into deep water and make it a grappling match, this could get interesting. Klose has the experience edge, but Gantt's got that young lion energy that makes guys dangerous.
