Jason Jackson vs. Ramazan Kuramagomedov title fight to headline Bellator Champion Series: Dublin in June
The Bellator Champions Series: Dublin event this summer has its headliner.
The promotion announced Friday that welterweight champ Jason Jackson will put his title on the line against undefeated Ramazan Kuramagomedov in the BCS: Dublin main event June 22 at 3Arena.
The bout will mark 33-year-old Jackson’s first defense of the 170-pound title after claiming it from Yaroslav Amosov by third-round TKO last November at Bellator 301, although it won’t be his first competition since then. Jackson (18-4 MMA, 8-1 BMMA) is coming off a ground-and-pound TKO win over former PFL champ Ray Cooper III in the second round of their fight at PFL vs. Bellator: Champions on Feb. 24.
Kuramagomedov, 27, has yet to taste defeat in 12 professional fights, with eight of his victories by stoppage, including six submissions. The Russian’s first two Bellator appearances came last year – a first-round TKO of Jaleel Willis in June followed by a second-round rear-naked choke submission of Randall Wallace in November.
The main event between Jackson and Kuramagomedov is the first official bout for BCS: Dublin, with more expected to be announced soon.
