[edit] Mixed martial arts career
Clementi was featured as a welterweight on The Ultimate Fighter 4, losing his preliminary bout against Shonie Carter by unanimous decision. Clementi had only made one previous appearance in the UFC, losing by submission to Yves Edwards at UFC 41.
Although Clementi did not secure a slot in the finals of The Ultimate Fighter 4, he appeared on the undercard of the season finale as a lightweight, losing by rear naked choke submission to Din Thomas.
Clementi secured his first victory in the UFC via rear naked choke submission against Ross Pointon at UFC Fight Night 8, although the fight was not aired during the broadcast.
More recently, Clementi defeated Anthony Johnson at UFC 76 via rear naked choke submission. Clementi took the fight on only a few weeks notice. With the win, Clementi improved his UFC record to 2-3. He won his next fight by a submission at UFC 79 against Melvin Guillard at 4:40 in the first round. The Guillard fight was controversial when Clementi made an obscene gesture by standing up and thrusting his pelvis after Guillard tapped.[1]. After the obscene gesture, Guillard was restrained as he attempted to fight Clementi again [2]. A gif image of the controversial celebration can be found here.
Rich Clementi racked up another victory in an under card event at UFC 83. He defeated Sam Stout by split decision. The official judges scored the bout 29-27, 29-28 for Clementi and 29-28 for Stout.
Clementi's next fight was a unanimous decision over Terry Etim on the Preliminary Card of UFC 84. Clementi has won four straight UFC Pay Per View fights, and six consecutive.
[edit] Personal life
Rich spent eight years in the military with the Navy Seabees and was mobilized as a reservist after 9/11. He divorced his wife after he got out of the military. He maintained a bad attitude after the divorce and this is how he got his nickname of 'No Love'. He also runs an MMA school in his hometown of Slidell, Louisiana.[3]
