SAN DIEGO – Devin Clark has been in the MMA game for a minute, so the days of him taking cornermen with him everywhere he goes during fight week are long gone.
But Wednesday, Clark (13-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) pushed the button for the elevator in the UFC’s host hotel in San Diego, and waiting for him when the door opened was his Saturday opponent, Azamat Murzakanov (11-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), and Murzakanov’s cornermen.
Clark said it wasn’t so much awkward as it was a signal to him that Murzakanov might be ready to throw down when the two light heavyweights step into the cage on the main card at at UFC on ESPN 41.
