Dal Jackson is a British ex professional mixed martial arts fighter.[1] Amongst his fights were two appearances in UK Mixed Martial Arts Championships (UKMMAC). Jackson has trained in various combat sports and has been featured in Fighters Magazine.[2]

Record

[edit]

Jackson fought in several bare-knuckle arranged fights & unlicensed boxing matches ,[3] before becoming involved in mixed martial arts, which he saw as a progression from the "unstructured" combat which he used to engage in.[4] Jackson has argued that mixed martial arts provide a safer alternative to boxing, due to the reduced reliance on hits to the head and the greater emphasis on wrestling.[5]

Professionally, Jackson has fought in two events promoted by the UKMMA Championships. In his first fight, at UKMMAC 6, he won the silver medal, losing to Fabrice Degund the French kick boxing champion and cracking his own elbow in the process.[4] In his second fight, at UKMMAC 8, he was defeated by Dennis Kelly, Kelly had 14 fights to Jackson's 2, but Jackson still took the fight,[6][7] In March, 2005, Jackson fought on the undercard of the International Kickboxing Federation world title bout between Mark Epstein and Alan Fenandes, losing to Geoff Dabbs in the 81 kg International Rules division after taking the fight in short notice.[8]

During the early 80s Jackson competed in amateur boxing Interclub bouts.

Other martial arts he has competed in are Judo to regional level, BJJ Gold at pro cup , Bronze British open, Muay Thai and boxing.
