Ľudovít Klein was the first Slovak fighter ever to compete in the UFC, and he has quietly become one of the most reliable lightweights on the roster. The compact southpaw from Spartakus Fight Gym is 24-5-1 overall, with a nearly even spread of knockouts, submissions, and decisions. His last outing was a bloody Fight of the Night win over Mateusz Rębecki at UFC 321 — a fight he finished on one leg after breaking his ankle in the third round. His 76 percent takedown defense and disciplined distance game make him a nightmare to control.
