Clementi replaces Emerson at UFC 84


Just three days after defeating Sam Stout at this past Saturday's UFC 83 event in Montreal, veteran fighter and rising lightweight contender Rich Clementi (31-12-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has agreed to fill in for an injured Rob Emerson to fight Terry Etim (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC 84.

The UFC today announced the change for the May 24 card, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The organization did not disclose the injury that forced Emerson to pull out of the preliminary-card fight.

As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) previously reported, Emerson actually replaced Jeremy Stephens, who was Etim's original opponent. However, Stephens had to deal with a minor legal situation and has instead been scheduled to fight Spencer Fisher in June at The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale.

Clementi, whose career found new life after a stint on the "comeback" season of "The Ultimate Fighter," will go for his sixth straight win, including his fourth straight in the UFC. The 31-year-old, who defeated Stout via split decision at UFC 83, began his UFC career with three losses in four fights.

Etim will return to the octagon for the first time since a unanimous-decision loss to Gleison Tibau at this past September's UFC 75 event in London. Prior to the loss -- the first of Etim's career -- the 22-year-old Brit made his UFC debut with a stunning comeback over Matt Grice at UFC 70. After getting beaten around for much of the first round, Etim reversed his position and locked in a fight-ending guillotine choke. He earned a $30,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus for the performance.

i can't stand Clementi, not for his fighting but for his voice, he just sounds like a douche. i know its trivial but damn i can't stand that bastard. i hope he gets punched in the throat so hard his voice changes and i can like him

Poor fuckin Jardine. Did anyone really think that fight wouldn't be just short of a murder? Jardine's glass jaw has been shown on more than a few occasions. This was practically a Dana White sanctioned execution.

Poor fuckin Jardine. Did anyone really think that fight wouldn't be just short of a murder?

i don't doubt that some might have calculated: "If Jardine beats Chuck, and Chuck beats Wanderlei, then..."
