The UFC’s signing of Greg Hardy strikes a personal chord with women’s flyweight Jessica-Rose Clark . A domestic violence survivor, Clark today said she’s “very against” the promotion’s decision to sign the former NFL star, whose history with domestic violence is well documented. “I don’t believe people like that change,” the 30-year-old fighter said during an appearance on the “Phonebooth Fighting” podcast. Clark (9-4 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who’s scheduled to face Jessica Eye (12-6 MMA, 2-6 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 132, spoke about her own experience with domestic violence and how it shaped her opinions on those who perpetrate it. The native Australian said that while her former fiance Julian Wallace pleaded guilty in 2016 to two counts of assault, he received just a 15-month suspended sentence, a small fine and was allowed to retain his passport by Australian authorities.
