Drakkar Klose just slammed his way on the Knockout of the Year short list.
Fighting for the first time in 17 months, Klose scored a monster finish of Joe Solecki on Saturday night at UFC Austin, power-bombing Solecki straight to the land of wind and ghosts with a brutal sequence less than two minutes into his undercard bout. Klose has now won three straight bouts and six of his past seven UFC appearances since 2018, while Solecki sees his own two-fight win streak snapped in savage fashion.

Bisping references the Rampage vs Arona slam KO from the Pride days and Drakkar delivers with a slam KO of his own. What a finish! #UFCAustin
