Lightweight Rich Clementi's next career move has been a persistent subject of fan speculation.
Clementi was released by the UFC in February and has since been fielding offers from various promotions, including Strikeforce. When lightweight champion Josh Thomson broke his leg ten days before his rematch with Gilbert Melendez, Clementi was offered his spot.
Clementi declined the offer due to illness, but he liked the idea of fighting for the San Jose based show.
As of yet, his only confirmed fight is Adrenaline III, manager Monte Cox's recently relocated show featuring a boxing match between Tim Sylvia and Ray Mercer in the main event.
Clementi's opponent has not been booked, but he and Cox client Jeremy Horn will take up the number one and number two spots of the MMA card at the BJCC Center in Birmingham, Alabama on June 13.

nice. i'm a fan of rich clementi. it would be nice to see him in strikeforce.
Clementi is an awesome fighter, but I don't get the Horn move. He's a great veteran fighter with a lot of fights under his belt. But, he's not TV material. Heck, Tim Sylvia isn't even TV material...he was!
