Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Clements made his professional MMA debut in June 2005. He fought primarily in his native Canada and amassed a record of 10 wins and 4 losses before joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Clements made his UFC debut against Keith Wisniewski on April 21, 2012 at UFC 145.[2] He won the fight via split decision.
Clements was expected to face Siyar Bahadurzada on July 21, 2012 at UFC 149, replacing an injured Thiago Alves,[3] however, on June 30, Siyar Bahadurzada was forced out of his fight against Chris Clements. Bahadurzada was replaced by Matthew Riddle.[4] Clements lost the fight via arm-triangle choke in the third round.[5] However, on October 20, 2012, it was revealed that Riddle has tested positive for a banned substance (Marijuana) and the result was overturned and changed to a No Contest.[6]
Clements next fought Stephen Thompson on September 21, 2013 at UFC 165.[7] He lost the fight via knockout in the second round.
