Jessica-Rose Clark News

Adam D Martin - October 21, 2021

UFC women’s bantamweight Jessica-Rose Clark blasted Dominick Cruz following his Hans Molenkamp callout, saying that “I nearly lost my job.” Following his win over Casey Kenney at UFC 259 earlier this year, Cruz called out Monster Energy’s Molenkamp for a charity fight. According to Cruz, Molenkamp was not doing the best job that he could for his fighters and so Cruz challenged him to a fight. That charity match never happened, and it feels like the Cruz vs. Molenkamp feud has softened now. However, it appears that other Monster fighters are not happy with the way that Cruz spoke about Molenkamp, which put their own sponsorship with the energy drink at risk.

Fan favorite Jessica-Rose Clark offered to fight UFC Vegas 31 winner Miesha Tate in November, saying that “it would be an honor.” Tate defeated Marion Reneau via third-round TKO at UFC Vegas 31 on Saturday night in her return to the Octagon after five years away from the sport. By defeating Reneau, Tate will take her spot in the UFC women’s bantamweight top-15 rankings as she looks to get close to earning another title shot at champion Amanda Nunes. But in order to get back to the top of the division and potentially earn a title shot, Tate has to get past some of the other top contenders in the division, and one of them in Clark specifically wants this fight.

Fan favorite UFC women’s bantamweight fighter Jessica-Rose Clark revealed some bad news on Thursday, she will be out of action until mid-2021. The news comes shortly following Clark’s dominant TKO victory over Sarah Alpar at last month’s UFC Vegas 11 event.

UFC women’s bantamweight standout Jessica Rose-Clark says she only has $17.70 in her bank account following UFC Vegas 11. Rose-Clark had arguably her best performance in the Octagon yet as she dominated Sarah Alpar en route to a late third-round TKO win. However, the fight itself was involved in some controversy as referee Chris Tognoni botched the stoppage. UFC president Dana White later commented on it and said the system needs to be fixed.

UFC 237 is set to be the UFC’s big return card in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 11. The card is looking to be a good one but unfortunately, it has now taken a hit. It was first reported by Combate on Wednesday that Australia’s Jessica-Rose Clark had been pulled from her bantamweight match-up with Talita Bernardo (6-3) who is now expected to face off with Brazilian newcomer, Melissa Gatto (6-0-2).

There are many variables that can and will affect the way that one’s life plays out. And the same goes for when referencing a career in sports, especially one that happens to be in combat sports.

The MMA world is a unique community. Despite being a sport where people are fighting each other one on one to advance their own positioning, acts of kindness aren’t rare. Unfortunately, these athletes aren’t immune to everyday troubles either. As is the recent case with UFC flyweight Andrea ‘KGB’ Lee who found herself in the middle of a domestic abuse incident with her husband.

You know that fighter that is clearly talented but hasn’t quite broken off the cusp of the division’s very best? Those who still have their doubters but are flying under the radar steadily making waves? These are commonly referred to as the dark horses of a division. The ones that may sneak up on everyone else ranked above them when they least expect it and leave their lasting impression. These are the UFC’s top dark horse candidates for each division.

“I don’t have a very good opinion [of Greg Hardy being signed to the UFC]. I had a spat with domestic violence before I moved out to Vegas. That’s actually why I moved to Vegas.

Rather than being granted the spotlight, some fighters have to force their ways into it. And often times they’ll have to break a few hearts along the way.

Having your home broken into definitely isn’t the most ideal of situations to have happen prior to a big fight. However, that was the exact case for Australia born Las Vegas resident, UFC flyweight, Jessica-Rose Clark. Just days before her sophomore appearance in the octagon against the young star, Paige VanZant at UFC St Louis, Clark had her Las Vegas home broken into and trashed. On top of that, the intruders killed her pet cat(Dwight) and stole $30,000 worth of belongings.

Earlier this month, in the co-main event of the UFC’s anticipated stop in St. Louis, Australian flyweight Jessica-Rose Clark picked up a key win over Paige VanZant. Given the way she performed in the cage, one would never guess how terrible her fight week was. But it was terrible. “Horrific,” in fact. In the days leading up to her fight with VanZant, Clark’s Las Vegas home was robbed. During the robbery, many of her belongings were stolen or destroyed, and her cat was also killed. She recounted the grisly debacle on the latest episode of The MMA Hour.

Last weekend, in the co-main event of the UFC’s debut in St. Louis, MO, Australian flyweight Jessica-Rose Clark picked up a huge win over fan favorite former strawweight Paige VanZant. While it was Clark who came out on top in this fight, however, VanZant showed remarkable tenacity, battling to the final bell despite a broken arm sustained mid-fight. Well… I broke my arm in the first! I was able to finish the fight but as you can see, had a hard time recovering and throwing my right. Thank you to the @ufc and to my opponent. Thank you to my coaches and most importantly my head coach’s @therealburkecamp and @fabianoscherner . I’ll be back better and stronger than ever! 💪🏼🦁 it’s all apart of the fight game. God had other plans for me. 🙏🏼 darn spinning back fist.
