Lando Vannata vs. Drakkar Klose slated for UFC 226

A matchup between intriguing lightweight up-and-comers Lando Vannata and Drakkar Klose has been slated for July 7 at 226.

MMA Fighting confirmed the booking Wednesday following a report by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Vannata (9-2-1) is looking to find his groove after winning just one of his first four bouts under the UFC umbrella. The JacksonWink prospect’s 1-2-1 Octagon record is deceiving though. Vannata debuted in the UFC in 2016 with a near-upset of top contender Tony Ferguson on short notice, then scored a highlight-reel first-round knockout over John Makdessi.
