UFC bantamweight fighter Jessica-Rose Clark has expressed regret this week after causing significant facial injuries to Sarah Alpar, only three weeks before Alpar’s wedding.
Clark emerged victorious in the third round of their fight.
Following the match, Clark commented on the visible damage sustained by Alpar, stating, “I could see [the damage] on her face. I apologized to her team after the fight because it shouldn’t have kept going. There was one point where I was trying to submit her because I was like, ‘F–k, I don’t want to keep hurting her.”
“I was going for the head and arm choke but she wasn’t giving it up,” said Clark. “She didn’t give up an inch, not for one second. I wanted to submit her because I didn’t want to keep hurting her as bad as I was. She didn’t want that to happen so, f–k it, I’m going to keep throwing elbows.”
Upon learning that Alpar was set to get married in a few weeks, Clark reacted by expressing, “F–k dude, why did you just say that!”
