The 35-year-old Clements brings a 3-1 pro MMA record to his match with Crutchmer. with all of his professional fights being determined by a judges' decision. Clements' pro debut was at Bellator 161 where he defeated David Ramirez by unanimous decision in Sept. 2016. His subsequent professional bouts were with other organizations. However, it has been two years since Clements has entered the cage.
Crutchmer, 26, is a perfect 4-0 in his pro career he launched in June 2018. Until signing with Bellator MMA in July, all of the former Cowboy wrestler's MMA bouts had been with Xtreme Fighting League, with two wins by submission, one by technical knockout, and one unanimous decision.
