Record
Jackson fought in several bare-knuckle arranged fights and unlicensed boxing matches , [3] before becoming involved in mixed martial arts, which he saw as a progression from the "unstructured" combat which he used to engage in. [4] Jackson has argued that mixed martial arts provide a safer alternative to boxing, due to the reduced reliance on hits to the head and the greater emphasis on wrestling. [5]
Professionally, Jackson has fought in two events promoted by the UKMMA Championships. In his first fight, at UKMMAC 6, he won the silver medal, losing to Fabrice Degund the French kick boxing champion and cracking his own elbow in the process.
