Montel Jackson

Quick

USA

Instant knockout victory
BantamweightUFC
July 13, 2024
Jackson defeated Da'Mon Blackshear via KO (punch) at 0:18 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
Easy work. Jackson took the center of the Octagon, connected with a quick jab to Blackshear's chest, and then obliterated him with a shot to the face. It happened so quickly that if you blinked, you would have missed it. To nobody's surprise, Jackson would go on to earn a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts here. Montel's striking is exceptional. He's super fast and very powerful. A winner of five in a row, the lone problem for Jackson at this point is that he's struggling to get matchups with notable opponents. For his part, Jackson says he wants to fight more frequently. It's a necessity if the 32-year-old hopes to continue to climb the rankings in the loaded bantamweight division.
