Falls in rematch against 'King Mo' at Bellator 175
Jackson lost to Muhammed Lawal via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at Bellator 175 on Friday in Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Everyone knew that "Rampage" would have his moments in this fight. The questions were, how impactful would these moments be and how many moments would he have. He really was only able to get anything going late in the second round. Jackson landed some heavy artillery on "King Mo." Lawal looked hurt, but he was able to muster just enough wrestling to survive and make the end of the round. Other than that moment, this fight was mostly Lawal mixing his wrestling and striking along the cage. "Rampage" appears to be nearing the end of his career. He has not looked overly impressive in his last few fight and came into this one extremely heavy. However, he did not make an announcement after the fight.
