From the outset, the incident between Drakkar Klose and Jeremy Stephens at the UFC Vegas 24 weigh-ins seemed very clear cut. Klose and Stephens approached one another, Stephens pushed him away, hard. The kind of interaction fans have seen at countless other MMA and combat sports events. Only this time Klose came away from the confrontation with what seems to have been some pretty severe whiplash and a potential concussion. His bout with Stephens had to be cancelled, although Klose eventually received his ‘show’ money for the event.
In the aftermath, it seemed worth asking if Klose should attempt to take Stephens to court over the incident, considering he ended up with an injury that could mean a potential loss of future earnings.
