Damon Jackson had every reason not to compete at UFC Fight Night 210 if that’s what he chose, but the thought never crossed his mind. Jackson’s brother, Bradley, died suddenly at 37 this past Tuesday. Rather than withdraw from his fight against Pat Sabatini days later to cope with a family tragedy, Jackson pushed through.

The finish started with a front kick that stunned Sabatini and ended with punches that caused a verbal submission.
