Team cbdMD Athlete Jessica-Rose Clark Wins Bantamweight Division in UFC Fight Night 178

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD, YCBD PR A) (the "Company"), one of the leading, and most highly trusted and recognized cannabidiol (CBD) brands, is proud to celebrate a night of triumph for Team cbdMD athlete and mixed martial arts expert, Jessica-Rose Clark, who won the women's bantamweight division match during UFC Fight Night 178. Airing this past Saturday night before a national audience from UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Clark took to the Octagon in dominant fashion – earning a resounding victory against Sarah Alpar during the Prelims Card. Clark overwhelmed Alpar and claimed the win via TKO stoppage during round three.

Though Clark was favored by oddsmakers, she certainly didn't look past her opponent. "This sport is the love of my life. So, you're going to see me fighting for my life out there," Clark said.

"The world really saw how complete of a fighter Jessy is with this fight, neutralizing takedowns and showing full standup domination. The bantamweight division is clearly where she belongs. She came into the fight mentally and physically in optimum shape, and we are honored to have her utilize and represent the cbdMD brand," said Hans Molenkamp, Vice President of Sports Marketing at cbdMD.

As for what's next for Clark, things are certainly moving quickly in her division. Odds are she will fight early next year, before proceeding to fight for the Bantamweight belt thereafter.
