Marc Diakiese V Drakkar Klose: What will go down:

Will the 'Bonecrusher' provide another highlight reel finish?
Exciting UFC youngster Marc 'Bonecrusher' Diakiese makes his third octagon appearance at The Ultimate Fighter: Redemption finale, as he takes on fellow undefeated striker Drakkar Klose.

24 year-old DR Congo born star Diakiese, set the Ultimate Fighting Championship alight in his last walk to the octagon, stopping Teemu Packalen with a right hand 30 seconds into their bout. Diakiese made the transition to the bright lights of the UFC last October, arriving as a BAMMA Lightweight champion, with a reputation for dishing out punishment. The American Top team product displayed his Capoeira background against Packalen before unleashing that right hook, which sent a stiff Teemu to the canvas. Making his premier octagon walk against Lukasz Sajewski at UFC 204, Diakiese recovered from a difficult opening round to finish Sajewski in the second, although Michigan native Drakkar Klose will most certainly present the biggest obstacle to Diakiese's tender record to date.

Klose made his octagon debut alongside Devin Powell in January, 2017, picking up a unanimous decision victory against the American in a decent display, With four victories of his seven so far coming by way of knockout, Klose is also a deadly finisher so don't expect this one to last the full three rounds.

In my opinion Diakiese has faced the more experienced and well rounded competitors so far in this stage of his career, and I see his unusual movement and piston of a right hand causing huge problems for Drakkar Klose.

Marc Diakiese via knockout.
