News Mike "The Truth" Jackson set to face newcomer Dean Barry (4-1) at UFC card, Apr. 23rd

[NoSmilez]

Dana got no control over the UFC. Didn't he state that Mike Jackson will not fight for the promotion anymore?

Dana says a lot of things under emotional duress that he actually has no control over

 

[MeatWagon06]

He’s back, Motherfuckers!!

All aboard the Mikey J. Train.

 

[Failwani]

lol UFC going full WWE on this one. An actual jobber being kept around to make prospects look good.

A lot of us blame him for a lot of things but people don't seem to understand he has taken a supervisor role and doesn't call the shots anymore. He can't even curse employees out anymore.

 

[MMAProfessional]

Their are hundreds of low level regional fighters who would beat Jackson. The fact that he got another fight is incredibly bizarre.

I'd assume he signed a multifight contract

 

[DS66]

Need to build up a potential UFC star by giving him the easiest possible matchup in his debut?

Who you gonna call?

MIKE JACKSON

So strange. But Barry is Conor's buddy and the potential heir to the Irish MMA throne. He's also a legit kickboxer with skills, although inexperienced in MMA, and he could be a big star for the UFC down the road. They need to build him up with a big easy win in his debut fight. Would be hilarious to see Mike Jackson derail another potential UFC cash cow, although I don't really see that happening in this circumstance.

 

[Pierced7681]

I genuinely think someone fucked up something in Jackson's contract so he can't be released without it being fulfilled. Makes no sense for him to get another fight.

cant cut a guy coming off a win, even if it was overturned way later due to weed. He’s gotta lose before ufc gets him outta there.

 

[Pierced7681]

I'd assume he signed a multifight contract

probably three or four fights. He lost to gall, beat punk, and now he’s guaranteed another fight because they can’t cut him off a win.

 

[kekiss]

If Mike can survive CM’s sloth guillotine then this guy is going to be piece of cake

 

[TITS]

What year is it?

Didn't they book this shitshow in 2020?

Yes, and again in 2021, they must really like this match-up. They could have given this Dean Barry guy some DWCS bum, but they want 1-1 Mike Jackson for some bizarre reason.

That's because everyone signed from the Contender Series would beat him.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Is he the one that got double legged by CM punk

 

[Raymundo Alvarado Guevara]

Well, sounds good

Their are hundreds of low level regional fighters who would beat Jackson. The fact that he got another fight is incredibly bizarre.

I think it's literally "who is the worst guy we can give this pretty crap Irish fighter so he gets off to a winning start?"

Those regional guys would probably whip Barry's ass, too. Too risky.

Real Breaking News right here!

MJ will throw a wrench into the UFC's plans once again.

 

[jeff7b9]

Wow so CM is actually 0-1 and not 0-2? Did not know that.

You can't count a loss if the opponent had the magical superpowers that can be attained from smoking a marijuana!

Didn't you know it makes you impervious to pain!?

worked for diaz against Gomi lmao

BIG fight
Jackson via brutal knockout

 

[MMAProfessional]

probably three or four fights. He lost to gall, beat punk, and now he’s guaranteed another fight because they can’t cut him off a win.

Yeah especially after the Punk fight where he decided not to finish and Dana was pissed I doubt they would renew with him.
