‘Kick the crutches, punch him in the face’: Mark Madsen hunted for Drakkar Klose at Mayo Clinic after UFC bout cancellation

LAS VEGAS – Mark Madsen tried to take Drakkar Klose up on his offer, but wasn’t able to find him.

Rivals due to past training ties, Madsen (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) and Klose (13-2-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) were expected to fight this past Saturday at UFC Fight Night 213. However, an ACL injury to Klose nixed the grudge match, at least for now.

“I’m still excited to fight Drakkar Klose,” Madsen told MMA Junkie and other reporters Wednesday at UFC Fight Night 214 pre-fight news conference. “I can’t wait to get in there and punch my right hand through his face. He called me out early.”
