The last time the UFC featherweight appeared inside the cage was against Grant Dawson in May 2019, where he suffered the first loss of his professional MMA career via rear-naked choke submission in the second round.
The setback was followed up by a couple of urgent knee surgeries that ‘The Lone Wolf’ had to undergo, which kept him from rebounding right away - and then the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
Now that he is headed back to the octagon, Trizano promises a firecracker of a contest with Ludovit Klein. Speaking to John Hyon Ko for Sportskeeda MMA, Mike Trizano said that fans can expect “a straight-up banger - lots of blood” from his fight next week.
Mike Trizano on the matchup with Ludovit Klein:
Mike Trizano was originally scheduled to return against Rafael Alves at UFC Vegas 19 but had to pull out of the fight because of a critical ankle injury. He will now face Slovakia’s Ludovit Klein, who made his UFC debut last September against Shane Young and won the fight via a head kick knockout in the first round. However, he missed weight by five pounds for the featherweight bout, and the contest took place at 150 pounds catchweight.
Mike Trizano thinks his matchup with Ludovit Klein is a great one.
When asked how he felt about his opponents not making weight, Mike Trizano said:
Mike Trizano also feels like the penalty for missing weight should be stricter. He believes confiscating 75 percent of the fight purse should do the trick and work as a good enough incentive for fighters to try and make weight.
