Report: Jai Herbert Out, Luis Pena in to Face Drakkar Klose at UFC Fight Night 185

“Violent Bob Ross” Will step up for a challenge on 10-day’s notice.

According to a report by MMA Fighting, Cage Warriors Fighting Championship titleholder Jai Herbert (10-2) is out of his scheduled fight against Drakkar Klose at the upcoming UFC Fight Night 185 event and Luis Pena will take on his spot in the 155-pound clash.

In his latest Octagon appearance, Klose (11-2-1) was finished for the first time in his career when Beneil Dariush delivered a knockout that put an end to their slugfest that went down at UFC 248. Prior, the 32-year old fighter went on a three-bout winning streak with victories over Lando Vannata, Bobby Green and Christos Giagos.

Pena (8-3) is eager to bounce back after gathering a victory and two defeats in his last three fights. After being edged by Matt Frevola at UFC Fight Night 161, “Violent Bob Ross” upended Steve Garcia at UFC Fight Night 169 back in February 2020. Most recently, Pena was submitted by Khama Worthy at UFC on ESPN 12.

UFC Fight Night 185 will go down at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Feb. 20. The main event will feature a heavyweight clash between Curtis Blaydes (14-2) and Derrick Lewis (24-7).
