Quinton Jackson
I finally got the contract. It’s been over two years in the making of me hearing Mr. Shannon Briggs’ mouth. I get to shut him up once and for all in Qatar, on June 1.
Jackson last fought against Fedor Emelianenko in December 2019 at Bellator 237. In that fight, Quinton was defeated by knockout in the first round. He has 38 wins and 14 losses on his record in MMA.
Briggs last stepped into the ring against Emilio Zarate in May 2016. This fight, which was stopped in the first round, ended in favor of Shannon by knockout. He has 60 wins (53 by knockout), six losses and one draw on his record in the professional ring.
