When Clifford Starks steps into the cage opposite fellow UFC newcomer
Dustin Jacoby at UFC 137, it will have been two weeks since his most
recent fight.

That’s a span normally seen on the local circuit, where fighters often
bounce from promotion to promotion in search of a paycheck.

“I believe Cliff’s ready,” Starks’ trainer, Trevor Lally, today told
MMAjunkie.com. “Would we like a little more time to
prepare for a UFC fight? Yeah. (But) these guys bang it out every day
like they’re going to have a UFC fight next week.”
