Heading into Bellator 120, it was known that a win by Quinton Jackson might put the promotion into a little bit of a light heavyweight bind. Now that that bind is a reality, the promotion’s CEO said he’s not going to force the issue created by the “Rampage” win over Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal in Saturday’s main event. Jackson (35-11 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) took a unanimous decision from Lawal (12-4 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) at Bellator’s first pay-per-view event, which took place at Landers Center in Southaven, Miss. The win came in the Season 10 light heavyweight tournament final, meaning Jackson now gets a title shot against champion Emanuel Newton.
