LONDON – Ludovit Klein is happy to put Slovakia on the UFC map. Klein (19-4 MMA, 3-2 UFC ) notched his third octagon win this past Saturday when he defeated Mason Jones (11-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC ) at UFC Fight Night 208, which took place at The O2 in London. Klein, 27, is the first and only Slovakian fighter to ever compete in the octagon, something he takes a lot of pride in. “It was pleasure for me, because my country is not very big, but I am happy to be here, the first Slovak UFC fighter,” Klein told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. Klein put on a good showing against a tough Jones, even landing a flying kick. He wasn’t able to finish his experienced opponent but knew it wouldn’t be easy.
