Devin Clark News

Cole Shelton - August 9, 2022

Devin Clark finally got his first UFC finish his last time out and now wants to build off of that. Clark scored a TKO win over William Knight back in April in his heavyweight debut. After the win, there was some thought about staying at heavyweight. Yet, given he trains with Curtis Blaydes he realized he wasn’t big enough to stay at heavyweight.

UFC light heavyweight fighter Devin Clark explained the mindset he needed to fight through his brutal teeth injury against Ion Cutelaba. Clark fought Cutelaba last month and suffered a horrendous injury when his teeth were smashed from a vicious knee. Despite his teeth being broken, Clark decided to continue fighting and toughed it out, going the distance and even winning the last round on two of the judges’ scorecards. While Clark lost the unanimous decision to Cutelaba, he gained the respect of the fans by battling through one of the nastiest teeth injuries we’ve ever seen.

UFC light heavyweight contender, Devin Clark has seen Jon Jones training for his heavyweight move and has sky-high expectations for him. After Jones beat Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 to defend his light heavyweight title, he vacated the belt as the plan was to move up to heavyweight. However, a deal is not done and Dana White has said Jones has priced himself out of the negotiations.

Tonight’s UFC Vegas 15 event is headlined by a light heavyweight bout featuring former title challenger Anthony Smith taking on Devin Clark. The fight card was originally slated to be headlined by a heavyweight contest between Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis. However, that bout was scratched on Friday after it was announced that ‘Razor’ had contracted Covid-19.

Tom Taylor - November 27, 2020

Anthony Smith and Devin Clark both asked the UFC to make their short-notice UFC Vegas 15 headliner a five-round fight, and they got their wish. Smith and Clark were originally expected to meet in the evening’s co-main event, but when Curtis Blaydes was forced out of his main event battle with Derrick Lewis due to a positive COVID-19 test, the pair of light heavyweights were promoted to the headlining spot.

Devin Clark is confident he will be the first one to hand Alonzo Menifield a loss. Menifield is currently 9-0 and returning to the Octagon after a year away due to a neck injury. For Clark, he thinks the year away from the cage might impact the prospect, but he isn’t counting on it.

Cole Shelton - June 4, 2020

Alonzo Menifield believes the pressure is on him to make his fight against Devin Clark entertaining for the fans. Menifield and Clark are the second fight from the bottom on the UFC 250 card, which will be Menifield’s first fight in nearly a year. Since his last fight, a first-round knockout of Paul Craig, the undefeated prospect dealt with a serious neck injury.

Devin Clark has yet to get a UFC finish but says that will change at UFC Rio Rancho this weekend. Clark was expected to take on Gadzhimurad Antigulov, but the Dagestani withdrew and Dequan Townsend stepped in who fought not even a month ago at UFC Raleigh. Townsend is a natural middleweight and 0-2 in the UFC. So, Clark knows he will be dangerous as Townsend will be fighting for his UFC job.

There is no question about it. The top fighters in the UFC make a pretty penny, while the fighters competing on the prelims often struggle to get by. This has been a huge concern for several fighters, some of whom have attempted to start a fighter’s union to improve things, though these efforts have not gained much traction. South Dakota native Devin Clark falls into this second category of fighters. He is currently not ranked and isn’t fighting the kind of big fights that will improve his pay. While Clark will be taking on Aleksander Rakic at UFC 231 on Dec. 8, he knows he has to win to get his win bonus, as well as make it flashy for a shot at a performance bonus.

Cole Shelton - September 20, 2018

Devin Clark will be fighting inside the Octagon very shortly at UFC 231 on December 8 in Toronto against Aleksander Rakic, who is currently 2-0 in the UFC. While both Clark and Rakic are currently unranked, the fight should bring fireworks as both have knockout power. However, even though the fight should be a fun one, it isn’t one Clark wanted. After working his way up the UFC light heavyweight rankings, Clark wanted a bigger name, but when none were offered, so he had to settle for Rakic.

Devin Clark’s path to the UFC involved getting noticed on the reality show ‘Dana White Looking for a Fight,’ where he won the RFA Light Heavyweight Championship. Since that moment where White announced he was going to sign the South Dakota native, Clark has had aspirations to capture the UFC light heavyweight title. Clark lost his first fight in the UFC, but then went on a roll and won back-to-back fights by unanimous decision before getting his toughest test in Jan Blachowicz. Unfortunately, Clark got submitted by Blachowicz in this fight, but he’s since rebounded with a decision win over Mike Rodriguez, which occurred at UFC 223 in April.

Tom Taylor - June 19, 2018

Former UFC middleweight contender Anthony Smith (29-13) looked like an absolute killer in his recent light heavyweight debut, executing former champion Rashad Evans with a first-round knee at UFC 225. While you might expect this ferocious win to send a shiver down the spines of Smith’s fellow light heavyweights, this is not the effect it had on Devin Clark (9-2). Instead, Clark wants to fight him — and soon. The light heavyweight they call “Brown Bear” is hoping to battle Smith when the UFC touches down in Lincoln, Nebraska on August 25.

The latest episode of BJPENN.COM Radio has arrived, Penn Nation!

We’ll recap the victory in his hometown of Chicago and discuss the heel-hook attempts by Overeem that injured the knee of Blaydes. What’s next for Curtis? He believes it’s the winner of Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic, but he’s also not against taking another fight before reaching the belt.
