In replace of Dan Ige who stepped in on four hours' notice at UFC 303, Damon Jackson will face rising prospect Jose 'Chepe' Mariscal at UFC Vegas 95.
Jackson (23-6-1 with one no-contest, 6-4-1 with one no-contest in UFC) ended a two-fight losing streak at UFC Vegas 90 with a split-decision win over Alexander Hernandez. Since re-signing with the UFC in 2020, Jackson has gone 6-3 with his only losses to Ilia Topuria, Billy Quarantillo and Ige.
Mariscal (16-6, 3-0 in UFC) has continuously impressed in the UFC thus far, topped with a split-decision win over Morgan Charriere in the fight before Jackson's at UFC Vegas 90.
