That really doesn't make a difference. I think that Nate Diaz gets manhandled in nearly every fight he's in... yet he always wins.

I'm sure that John Clarke has seen TUF before. He should have known that an early fight was possible, even if there were only 16 guys and he had an automatic spot in the house. Showing up 17 pounds heavy for a competition like this is NOT a good excuse. If he was gassed because of it, it's his own fault. I don't fault Yarbrough for his opponent's bad judgement.
