UFC Lightweight Mitch Clarke will step on the grappling mat on September 12 at Submission Series PRO: The Triumph against a very dangerous grappler — Scott Nauss.

“I think it’s a great opportunity to help promote a growing sport which is hopefully going to catch on,” Clarke told MMASucka.com. “I like the submission only format because it makes you stay active, keeps away the stalling and makes the fans stay interested. I like to take chances to get the win and I think this is the opportunity to do that.”
