Dresden Native Steps Up For UFC 186

Chris "The Menace" Clements has his next fight set for the UFC.

Clements is replacing the injured Claudio Silva and will face welterweight Nordine Taleb at UFC 186.

The 39-year-old from Dresden has won two of his four UFC fights with one loss and one no-contest.

Clements says he's thrilled to get the chance to step in and fight in the next UFC event.

"There's always, for most people, that preasure fighting in the biggest show in the world," he says. "For me it's an excitement. To me, I've accomplished my goal and I get to do what it is that I've set myself out to do."

The UFC event is on April 25 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
