Months after his brother unexpectedly passed away, Damon Jackson is still looking for answers.
UFC 145-pounder Jackson (22-4-1, 1 NC; 5-2-1, 1 NC UFC) is scheduled to take on his first ranked opponent, Dan Ige, in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 217 on Saturday in Las Vegas. 2022 was a rough year for the 34-year-old Jackson, who lost his brother Bradley a few days before competing at UFC Fight Night 210 last September. The former Legacy Fighting Championship titleholder honored his late brother not only by changing his nickname from “The Leech” to “Action” — as Bradley’s friends used to call him — but with a 69-second technical knockout victory over Pat Sabatini. Jackson is now focused on his upcoming assignment, but believes something doesn’t add up about what happened to his brother.
