The wait is over! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to O2 Arena in London, England, on March 19, 2022, for the first time in two years led by a hard-hitting Heavyweight showdown between top-ranked division contenders, Alexander Volkov (No. 6) and Tom Aspinall (No. 11). In the UFC ‘London’ co-main event, Dan Hooker returns to Featherweight action against Arnold Allen, while up-and-coming English striking sensation, Paddy Pimblett, locks horns with Rodrigo Vargas.

Despite a reach disadvantage it was Jackson who landed the more meaningful shots early on. He was able to keep Kirk on his back foot and eventually scored a takedown to work his top game. Kirk fought well to make it into the second round, but Jackson was there again to take the action to the canvas and work his way towards the arm-triangle choke. Jackson was able to leverage the cage for the finish and Kirk had nothing left to do but tap.

Jackson, 33, is now 3-1 since returning to UFC back in 2020 with two submission finishes and a solid decision win over Charles Rosa. It may be time to start taking Jackson seriously as a 145-pound contender, especially if he keeps producing finishes like this one.
