Riding a four-fight winning streak, Jackson went up against fellow bantamweight prospect Da'Mon Blackshear in the night's prelims. Blackshear recently scored the UFC's third-ever twister submission victory, and came up short against one of the division's best in Mario Bautista in his last fight. This was all moot when Jackson KO'd him stiff in under 20 seconds. View the finish below:
