After knockout losses in their most recent outings, Drakkar Klose and Jeremy Stephens will fight to get back in the win column.
Klose and Stephens are booked for a lightweight contest at an UFC event scheduled for April 17, multiple people with knowledge of the booking told MMA Fighting following an initial report from MMA Junkie. The event’s location and venue have not yet been confirmed.
The bout marks Stephens’ first octagon appearance as a lightweight in nine years. After a knockout loss to Yves Edwards in 2012, he moved down to the featherweight division, where rattled off three wins before his first stumble.
