seven-time Tuff-N-Uff veteran, Jackson looks to defend his belt for
the first time since earning the title with a hard-fought decision
win over Joe Angelo this past October. While Jackson went the
distance in claiming the belt, the Legends MMA product earned his
previous five wins by knockout, and three of his opponents didn’t
make it past the first minute.
