Will fight Alex White at UFC 215
Clarke will fight Alex White at UFC 215 on Sept. 9, UFC.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Clarke has had a rough 12 months, losing to Joseph Duffy at UFC 90 in July of 2016, before being placed on a lengthy medical suspension to get clearance from a knee injury. He's now lost two straight fights and the long layoff could pose some issues against White. However, White has lost three of his last four fights, so both fighters are in serious need of a bounce-back win. With seven submissions over his 11 career wins, look for Clarke to try and take it to the ground.
