Local Air Force veteran juggles demanding schedule with fighting career

Air Force veteran and MMA fighter Clinton Williams poses during a workout at Xtreme Couture gym Tuesday, March 29, 2016. Williams will take on Rex Harris at the World Series of Fighting 30 in The Joint inside the Hard Rock Saturday.

The first time Clinton Williams stepped inside a cage, he walked away seven seconds later after knocking his opponent out with a kick to the head.

Mixed martial arts started as a bucket-list item for Williams, but he went undefeated as an amateur and won a middleweight belt in a regional promotion to earn a three-fight contract with World Series of Fighting.
