Injury has forced Beneil Dariush out of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 13 event, and UFC officials are currently seeking a lightweight opponent to meet Drakkar Klose . MMA Junkie today learned from promotion officials that Dariush had to withdraw from the card, which takes place at Golden1 Center in Sacramento, Calif. A timeline for his return was not immediately established. With the late notice, replacement candidates would likely need prior clearance for competing in the U.S. Klose (10-1-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) was in action most recently in December, earning a decision win over Bobby Green. It was his second consecutive victory in the promotion following a July 2018 win over Lando Vannata at UFC 226
