Refreshing POV from Clements there.

Couldnt agree more Skelli. That was awesome. Clements moved up my list with that statement.

@skelliher He actually gained some of my respect just from that. 100% a lot of guys know this, but will never admit it. Glad to see Clements can drop the act and be genuine.

Smolka has some power in his hands, hoping he gets the flawless victory KO.

Clements is violence. Hope they match him up with strikers. Tumenov vs. Clements would be good for a round.
