Paul
Daley will square off against Jason
Jackson in a 175-pound catchweight affair at Bellator
260.
Promotion officials announced the bout on Wednesday. Bellator 260
takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on June 11
and is headlined by a welterweight title clash pitting Douglas
Lima against Yaroslav
Amosov. The main card airs on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m.
PT.
Daley is riding the momentum of a three-bout winning streak within
the California-based organization. Most recently, “Semtex” scored a
second-round TKO of Sabah
Homasi at Bellator 257 on April 16. The 38-year-old British
fighter has also bested Saad Awad and
Erick Silva
during his current run and is 42-17-2 over the course of a pro
tenure that began in 2003.
Jackson, meanwhile, has won five of six Bellator appearances. His
last two outings have been his most significant, as he has earned
back-to-back decision triumphs over Benson
Henderson and Neiman
Gracie. “The Ass Kicking Machine” is 14-4 as a professional
overall.
