Canada’s Mitch Clarke gets TUF champ Michael Chiesa at UFC Fight Night in April
January 19, 2015
PrintA big lightweight match-up is now official as TUF Champion Michael Chiesa battles rising Canadian lightweight standout Mitch Clarke.
The pair will meet on April 4, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 63 inside the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia.
The event is expected to be headlined by a featherweight bout between Chad Mendes and Ricardo Lamas.
Chiesa is looking to get back in the win column after a TKO doctor stoppage to Joe Lauzon last September. The TUF star is 4-2 since winning the Ultimate Fighter back in 2012.
Clarke on the other hand has been on a roll as of late. He holds two huge wins over top contenders John Maguire and most recently Al Iaquinta.
A win over Chiesa will catapult his name in the upper 155-pound rankings.
