XFO happened on 8/27 with UFC vet Lavern Clark armbarring Jake Jetter of 1:53 of round 1. Pretty impressive for a pro boxer. Seems like Clark is finally rounding out his game w/ submissions.
Thats good to hear. I have been wondering what was happening to him.
Good for Clark!
"Pretty impressive for a pro boxer."
One of his last fights was on ESPN2 against a prospect and he looked very bad. I like Clark and would prefer to seem him in MMA where he is better suited.
great to hear

Is he still training with Jason Reainhardt?If so it looks like it's paying off
It was not an armbar, it was an armlock somewhat like a key lock, LaVerne was amped charged the center of the ring and engaged, he was there with Reinhardt and wearing his gym's gear. I went to high school w/ LaVerne and it was great to see him back fighting and winning
He's an awesome wrestler and I'd go so far as to say that his standup is better suited for MMA than Boxing.
Robin.
Impressive....
Verne has not trained subs consistantly for 8 years if he did hed be UFC champ Hopefully hes training subs hard now Tell him Daren says hi and wishes him well if anyone sees him
saying he's trained submissions, boxing, or anything else for eight years is a joke. If he has, he's accomplishd about a years work in that time. he's one of the laziest gifted people I know. He's always been his worst enemy.
He also came in like 20 pounds over weight.
