Clark most recently picked up a very impressive knockout victory over Bellator veteran Dom Steele at Caged Vengeance 13 this past March and will look to do the same to Horne.

Hardrock MMA 56
There were 16 fights scheduled for the evening but one fighter opted not to fight as he was walking down to the cage. He told referee Gary Copeland before the bell rang that he was not willing to fight so the fight was deemed a no-contest. Yes it was a first that we have heard a fighter pull-out of a fight as he was walking to the cage. Nonetheless the remaining fights took place and we have all of them listed below for you to match.
One of the many highlights of the night was the 4-man amateur lightweight tournament. Nathan Maness defeated Eric Jarvis in his semi-final matchup and then went on to stop Jordan Beverly to capture the title. To see those two great fights and the rest continue on.

Recap
Hardrock MMA 56 featured a good blend of up and coming amateurs and local favorites we’ve been following for awhile. The crowd was amazing and even exceeded many expectations for an event in that part of the Commonwealth. We were fortunate enough to have the best seats in the house for the last Hardrock MMA event until their return in September. We saw the crowning of a new lightweight champ after an exciting tournament as well as two highlight reel knockouts on the evening
The night started with the beginning of the four man lightweight tournament. In the first fight Eric Jarvis and Nathan Maness went all three rounds. This was Jarvis’ first drop to lightweight in quite some time. He looked to have a little bounce in his step but he was dominated in round 1 as Maness took his back and stayed there for quite some time. In the second and third round Maness used some crisp striking that we hadn’t seen out of him as of yet to pick Jarvis apart to cruise to the decision win. In the other semifinal fight hometown favorite Jonathan Byerly dispatched Jeremy Philpot in the first round. In the championship fight Byerly looked fresh and used a good gameplan to take the first round. Maness regrouped and took the second round almost finishing the fight in the final seconds as he was dropping some solid ground and pound. The Hardrock MMA bantamweight champ finished Byerly off in the third when he was able to land countless unanswered shots before Gary Copeland called a stop to it. Maness captured his second title in 8 days over three fights and now sits at a perfect 10-0.
