Drakkar Klose dedicated his UFC 319 win to his late brother, Tuan Williams.
Klose outstruck Edson Barboza to earn a unanimous decision win at UFC 319 in Chicago. Klose subsequently revealed that Barboza was one of the favorite fighters of his brother.
The win saw Klose rebound from a first-round knockout loss against Joel Alvarez in December 2024. Klose’s brother was senselessly murdered just four months before the fight. While Klose doesn’t regret taking the fight, he says he wasn’t fully himself during the camp and would like a rematch.
