Drakkar Klose got back into the win column with a solid showing against 155-pound mainstay Edson Barboza at UFC 319 in Chicago.
Klose got off to a fast start, walking down Barboza and looking to land on the lightweight legend early. A few stiff calf kicks from Barboza had Klose rethinking his strategy as the round wore on, resulting in a closely contested opening stanza.
Just over a minute into the second, Klose uncorked a combination that appeared to have Barboza out on his feet.
