Jason Jackson Scores Semi-Controversial Submission Victory Over Andrey Koreshkov – PFL 1 Highlights

Jason Jackson scored a second-round submission victory over Andrey Koreshkov in the PFL World Tournament headliner on Thursday night in Florida.

Things were fairly competitive between Jackson and Koreshkov in the opening round, but the Russian was intent on securing an early takedown in the second stanza. Jackson defended brilliantly and eventually found himself in a dominant position, taking Koreshkov’s back near the fence.

Koreshkov used the cage to work his way back up, but Jackson landed a couple of quick shots before muscling the Russian back down to the mat. While there, Jackson landed an elbow to the back of Koreshkov’s head.
