Klose is a 38-year-old MMA Lab veteran who grinds opponents down with tight boxing, clinch pressure and deep cardio, winning ten of his sixteen fights on the scorecards. He rebounded from a knockout loss to Joel Alvarez by outpointing Edson Barboza at UFC 319 in August 2025. He is scheduled to face Thomas Gantt in September 2026, his first bout in over a year.
