Jessica-Rose Clark confirms move back to bantamweight following UFC on FOX 31 weight cut issue

Following a scary weight cut earlier this week that resulted in Clark being ruled “medically unfit” to compete against Andrea Lee at UFC on FOX 31 on Saturday, the 31-year-old confirmed that she will be leaving the 125-pound division and returning to bantamweight via social media.

Clark had mentioned on Twitter that she intended to make the move and she elaborated on that decision in a video testimonial.

“I feel bad for Andrea,” Clark said. “She’s had a really tough year as well and I know she was relying on that money.
