Mixed martial arts career
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Clark is a UFC veteran, whose history with the promotion dates back to the early beginnings of his career. He made his UFC debut just three fights into his career, facing Josh Stewart at UFC 16 on March 13, 1998, and won via strikes. He returned just under a year later, and faced Frank Caracci at UFC 18 on January 8, 1999. Clark won via submission (strikes), advancing his UFC record to 2–0.
After winning another fight in the Extreme Boxing promotion, Clark returned at UFC 20 against Fabiano Iha on May 7, 1999, defeating Iha by TKO (cut). Clark would fight in the UFC two more times, defeating Koji Oishi at UFC 25 via majority decision, and losing to Fabiano Iha at UFC 27 in a rematch via armbar, leaving the promotion with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss.
