Rich 'No Love' Clementi Keeps a Busy Schedule

Lightweight contender Rich “No Love” Clementi is taking no time off after his three round win over Sam Stout at UFC 83 last Saturday. Instead, the pride of Slidell, Louisiana will be back in the gym preparing for a May 24th bout against UK rising star Terry Etim on the star-studded UFC 84 card at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. Clementi replaces Rob Emerson, who was forced to withdraw from the bout against Etim due to injury.

Clementi is on a serious hot streak since moving back down to his natural weight class of 155. He looked average at best fighting at 170 but since the drop he's been on a steady climb up the ranks. Sam Stout is a tough fighter and Clementi was a slight underdog in the fight. I guess he's trying to keep himself sharp and Terry Etim is no walk through either. It'll be interesting to see if Clementi bit off a little more than he can chew.
