A career-best win for Bellator’s Jason Jackson was marred somewhat by a coronavirus-related controversy.
As first reported by ESPN, Jackson’s coaches Henri Hooft and Greg Jones were issued a three-month suspension from the Mohegan Tribe Department of Athletic Regulation due to a violation of COVID-19 quarantine protocol prior to Jackson’s bout with Ben Henderson at Bellator 253 this past Saturday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
Jackson’s coaches were both fined $500, with the fines expected to come out of Jackson’s purse. He went on to defeat Henderson by unanimous decision to score his third consecutive win.
