Jason Jackson might be one of Bellator's best fighters right now but he's in no hurry to move on to the UFC, not without doing a few things first.
“I think I’m going to clean out Bellator and clean out PFL to where they’re like, ‘Man, we need to let this guy go do something else and continue on building his legacy,'” Jackson told MMA Junkie. “And I want to go to the UFC and become champion there and clean out the division, as well, before I hang it up.”
Jackson is gearing up to defend his welterweight title against Ramazan Kuramagomedov at Bellator Dublin, live on DAZN on Saturday, June 22. His opponent is a touch undefeated wrestler and could be Jackson's toughest test yet.
“I just feel like they still doubting me because I haven’t been on the UFC level to really make it look easy as I’m making it look right now,” Jackson said. “I’ve beat former UFC champions and UFC competitors and contenders, so once I get there, they will realize they’ve been sleeping on me.”
