Nate Jennerman and Damon Jackson Discuss Their Fight Ahead of LFA 47
Nate Jennerman and Damon Jackson spoke with AXS TV (per MMAjunkie) ahead of their fight at LFA 47 on Friday. Highlights are below:
Jennerman on how the fight will end: “Damon comes in with 14 finishes. I come in with 10 finishes. Somebody’s getting finished tonight, and it’s not going to be me…I see it happening in the standup, this time. I think it’s going to be my first pro knockout. It’s been a long time coming, but I think it’s coming.”
Jackson on being willing to go to the ground: “I’m not scared to go to the ground with anyone. If he wants to take the fight there, all power to him, I’ll be ready to go. I feel like he backs up a lot, so I’m going to be in his face and we’ll see how he handles that pressure.”
Jackson on possible facing Kevin Aguilar next: “If I had to fight (Aguilar) again, I would take the fight all day. It’s just really frustrating to lose and to be finished in the fight. So I definitely would want that back. But I’m looking at just trying to mature and go on to the next step and keep going up. If it means fighting him, if I have to have one more fight to go to the UFC before, then I’m going to take the fight all day. If I get the call, then I get the call and I’ll be ready to go.”
