Win Methods
Damon Jackson, better known as "The Leech", brings a 23-8-1 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as lightweight, every single win matters.
A submission threat first and always — 15 taps forced in 23 wins. Every exchange on the mat carries a trap door.
The last fight went to Jim Miller (Submission (Guillotine Choke) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
He's 37 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
