Drakkar Klose : le lutteur qui claque des slams en pleine soumission<\/h2>\n

Quand Drakkar Klose attrape ta jambe, le mieux que tu puisses esp\u00e9rer, c’est de ne pas finir plant\u00e9 t\u00eate la premi\u00e8re dans le tapis. Demande \u00e0 Joe Solecki : le 2 d\u00e9cembre 2023 \u00e0 l’UFC Austin, le natif de Kalamazoo (Michigan) d\u00e9fendait un armbar en premi\u00e8re reprise quand il a soulev\u00e9 son adversaire et l’a fracass\u00e9 sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 du cr\u00e2ne pour un KO \u00e0 1:41. Un slam digne de Rampage Jackson, et l’image qui r\u00e9sume le mieux ce combattant : un lutteur d’\u00c9tat qui a transform\u00e9 sa puissance en arme de finition.<\/p>\n

Du tapis de lutte \u00e0 l’octogone<\/h3>\n

N\u00e9 le 9 mars 1988, Klose est d’abord un wrestler avant d’\u00eatre un combattant MMA. Champion d’\u00c9tat en 2005 avec son lyc\u00e9e de South Haven, il passe ensuite par le North Idaho College puis Lindenwood University. Cette base de lutte reste le socle de tout son jeu. Il compl\u00e8te l’arsenal avec une ceinture violette de jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien sous Sadiq Daniels, et s’installe \u00e0 The MMA Lab, la salle de Glendale (Arizona) o\u00f9 il b\u00e2tit l’essentiel de sa carri\u00e8re professionnelle, lanc\u00e9e en 2014.<\/p>\n

Une carri\u00e8re UFC en dents de scie mais solide<\/h3>\n

Klose d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l’UFC le 15 janvier 2017 (UFC Fight Night 103) et signe d’entr\u00e9e une d\u00e9cision unanime face \u00e0 Devin Powell. Depuis, le poids l\u00e9ger a construit un parcours de v\u00e9t\u00e9ran fiable : il a remport\u00e9 8 de ses 10 derniers combats. Au rayon des grosses sorties, sa d\u00e9cision unanime contre Joaquim Silva \u00e0 l’UFC 301 (4 mai 2024), puis surtout sa victoire de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence face \u00e0 Edson Barboza par d\u00e9cision unanime \u00e0 l’UFC 319 (16 ao\u00fbt 2025) : battre un nom pareil sur trois reprises, \u00e7a pose un lutteur dans la hi\u00e9rarchie des l\u00e9gers.<\/p>\n

Tout n’est pas lisse pour autant. Le 14 d\u00e9cembre 2024, il a go\u00fbt\u00e9 \u00e0 la violence de Joel \u00c1lvarez, mis KO sur un genou saut\u00e9 en premi\u00e8re reprise (UFC on ESPN 63). Un rappel que chez les l\u00e9gers, l’erreur ne pardonne pas.<\/p>\n

Style : pression, lutte et mains lourdes<\/h3>\n

Le profil de Klose est limpide : un boxeur-lutteur qui avance, qui colle de la pression et qui peut conclure aussi bien aux poings (6 de ses victoires par KO) qu’au sc\u00e9nario opportuniste, comme ce slam sur Solecki. Sur la distance, il s’appuie sur son cardio et sa lutte pour user l’adversaire, d’o\u00f9 ses nombreuses d\u00e9cisions. Pas le plus m\u00e9diatique des l\u00e9gers, mais un client que personne n’a envie de voir en face dans un grappling exchange.<\/p>\n

O\u00f9 il en est<\/h3>\n

Au sortir de sa victoire contre Barboza, Klose affiche un record professionnel de 16-3-1, dont 7-2 \u00e0 l’UFC. \u00c0 37 ans, le v\u00e9t\u00e9ran d’Arizona reste comp\u00e9titif dans une des cat\u00e9gories les plus profondes de l’organisation et compte deux troph\u00e9es de Performance de la soir\u00e9e (face \u00e0 Brandon Jenkins en 2022 et Joe Solecki en 2023) pour t\u00e9moigner de son talent \u00e0 finir les combats.<\/p>\n
