Career overview
Montel Jackson, nicknamed "Quik," carries a 15-4-0 professional record with a southpaw stance and stands 5'10" with a 75-inch reach. Jackson's fighting style reflects a balanced blend of striking and grappling, landing 3.02 strikes per minute at 52% accuracy while maintaining solid defensive metrics with 60% striking defense.
His takedown average of 2.71 per 15 minutes, coupled with 63% takedown accuracy and 67% takedown defense, reveals a fighter comfortable in multiple phases. Recent results showcase his versatility: he scored a first-round knockout of Da'Mon Blackshear in July 2024, earned a unanimous decision over Daniel Marcos in May 2025, but suffered a split-decision loss to Deiveson Figueiredo in October 2025.
His submission threat remains modest at 0.3 submissions per 15 minutes, suggesting he relies primarily on positional control rather than submission finishes. Over his last eight fights, Jackson has compiled a 6-2 record, demonstrating consistent performance at the bantamweight level despite facing elite competition.
His recent loss to Figueiredo indicates he remains competitive against top-tier opposition, though the split decision suggests he may need more decisive performances to climb the divisional rankings.
