Jason
Jackson believes he can disrupt the
Ultimate Fighting Championship’s welterweight division and
upset the reigning champ.

Jackson recently called for a UFC signing while making a bold
claim. The former Bellator
welterweight champion believes he can defeat UFC welterweight king
Islam
Makhachev. Furthermore, the 35-year-old says the premier
promotion doesn’t want him on the roster, considering his age.

Jason Jackson explains why he believes he can beat UFC champ
Islam Makhachev

Makhachev faced one of the toughest tests of his career while
successfully defending his welterweight title against Ian Garry at
UFC
330. Jackson claims he had his way with Garry in training and
never struggled against the Irishman.

Jackson also handed Yaroslav
Amosov his lone career loss. According to the Jamaican, Amosov,
who has finished both of his UFC wins so far, is a better fighter
than Makhachev. He believes the UFC isn’t offering him a contract
as they fear that he would turn the division on its head.

“I want to go to the UFC. I’m not even gonna beat around the bush
because I feel like I could beat Makhachev,” Jackson said in an X
post. “And the reason why I said that is that he struggled with
Ian. And no disrespect to Ian, I done put Ian down in the gym. I
don’t struggle with him. And from what I did to Yaroslav, I think
he is better than Makhachev. If I get into the UFC, I feel like
that’s one that the UFC don’t want, is a guy my age coming from a
different promotion, going there and just disrupting their whole
pecking order. I feel like that’s why they are holding out on me
getting in there.”

Jackson (20-6) is 2-2 in his last four outings and most recently
scored a 20-second knockout win at
Most Valuable Promotions’ inaugural mixed martial arts event
this past May.
