Diakiese (12-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) is set to make his fourth octagon appearance, and is looking to stay undefeated. Following victories over Lukasz Sajewski and Frankie Perez, “Bonecrusher” finished Teemu Packalen in highlight reel fashion, shooting him into the spotlight. In his first three UFC bouts, the Englishman has become a real fan favorite.
Klose (7-0-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) won his first five professional MMA fights, finishing four of them. The first rime he left the cage without a victory was when he faced Joashua Aveles at Tachi FP 26, and the bout was ruled a draw. Since that results, Klose has defeated Hugh Pullet and Devin Powell both by decision, with the latter being his UFC debut.
The Ultimate Fighter 25 Finale takes place live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 7, 2017.
