"Rebecki (20-3) was also seeking redemption after a closely contested decision loss to Chris Duncan in August, a setback that halted his rising momentum in the lightweight division. Known for his relentless grappling pressure and durability, the Polish standout now aimed to rebound in emphatic fashion against Klein and prove he's still a major threat in the division. Round 1 - Both men came out in Southpaw, with Klein landing some nice early jabs before a big 1-2 put Rebecki on wobbly legs early."
"Round 2 - After a strong opening round for Klein, Rebecki landed some clean left hands early. A big exchange allowed a massive counter right hook to stun Rebecki, although Klein stayed patient. Rebecki recovered quickly again and shot another takedown against the cage shortly after. This time, he got Klein down, who popped right back up and landed some clean straight lefts."
Rebecki sought redemption after a close decision loss and relied on relentless grappling pressure and durability. Round 1 saw both fighters in southpaw stance, with Klein landing early jabs and a big 1-2 that wobbled Rebecki before Rebecki pressed forward and attempted takedowns while Klein defended and countered. In Round 2 Klein landed a massive counter right hook that stunned Rebecki multiple times, and Rebecki managed a takedown but absorbed short right hooks poorly. Down on the cards entering Round 3, Rebecki aggressively trapped Klein, secured the back and delivered heavy ground-and-pound from side-back control, leaving Klein visually compromised.
