Losing streak hits three
Clark lost to Tainara Lisboa via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:20 of Round 3 at UFC on ABC 4 on Saturday in Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
In desperate need of a victory in what was essentially a pick 'em fight, Clark didn't show much. She was lightyears behind Lisboa in terms of technical skill on the feet, and although she was credited with 7:36 worth of control time, Clark did next to nothing with her positional advantage. Jessica tapped out late in Round 3, although she was well on her way to dropping a decision regardless. Already 35 years of age and clearly trending in the wrong direction, Clark has lost three in a row on the heels of a 4-2 mark in her first half-dozen fights with the company. The odds may be against her receiving another opportunity with the UFC.

Draws newcomer in May
Clark will take on newcomer Tainara Lisboa in a bantamweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for May 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Clark has dropped back-to-back fights on the heels of a two-fight winning streak, so she desperately needs a victory here to remain relevant at 135 pounds. She'll be taking on a 31-year-old Brazilian newcomer in Lisboa, who has earned all five of her professional victories by way of stoppage.

Back to training
Clark (elbow) disclosed via her personal Twitter account Wednesday that she has resumed training.
ANALYSIS
It was reported last July that Clark would likely require elbow surgery following her submission loss to Julija Stoliarenko, and while it's unclear if she went through with the surgery, she did tweet a video of her working her jiu-jitsu, which included drilling wrist control. She doesn't currently have a fight booked, but the video suggests that she would be ready to begin a new fight camp should the UFC reach out with another fight offer. Clark had been riding a two-fight winning streak prior to consecutive first-round submission losses, but it seems she'll be ready to get back on track in early-to-mid 2023.

Likely requires elbow surgery
Clark will likely require elbow surgery following her loss to Julija Stoliarenko via submission (armbar) at UFC 276 on Saturday, MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Clark lasted just 42 seconds during Saturday's fight, and she required a trip to the hospital afterward since Stoliarenko kept Clark in an armbar after she had tapped. Assuming she ultimately undergoes a procedure, it's not yet clear when the 34-year-old will be cleared to return.

Lasts 42 seconds in UFC 276 opener
Clark lost to Julija Stoliarenko via submission (armbar) at 0:42 of Round 1 at UFC 276 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a second straight first-round submission defeat for Clark in a fight in which she entered as the betting favorite. Clark clipped Stoliarenko with a couple shots in the early going, but Jessica was finished the second she ended up on the mat. It's a crushing defeat against an opponent who had lost each of her first three bouts with the company. Set to turn 35 years of age in late November, Clark has been a replacement-level fighter over the course of eight (4-4) fights with the UFC. There simply isn't much here. To make matters worse, she appears to have suffered an arm injury in the process, which could derail her future plans even further.
