The bout will mark 33-year-old Jackson’s first defense of the 170-pound title after claiming it from Yaroslav Amosov by third-round TKO last November at Bellator 301, although it won’t be his first competition since then. Jackson (18-4 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) is coming off a ground-and-pound TKO win over former PFL champ Ray Cooper III in the second round of their fight at PFL vs. Bellator: Champions on Feb. 24. Kuramagomedov, 27, has yet to taste defeat in 12 professional fights, with eight of his victories by stoppage, including six submissions. The Russian’s first two Bellator appearances came last year – a first-round TKO of Jaleel Willis in June followed by a second-round rear-naked choke submission of Randall Wallace in November. 🦅 Follow Khabib on social media: ◾ Facebook: ◾ Instagram: ◾ Twitter:
