Montel Jackson is promoted as having some dangerous power in his hands, and that was on full display in his victory on the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night in Denver.
Jackson scored a quick win inside Ball Arena, knocking out Da’Mon Blackshear in just 18 seconds.
As the two were feeling each other out, Jackson threw a one-two combination that saw a right hand to the chest and brutal straight left, with enough power to put Blackshear down and out.

Jackson’s finish is good enough for the second-quickest in UFC bantamweight history.
“Quik” has now won five consecutive fights and is 8-2 in the Octagon since joining the UFC off a 2018 win on Dana White’s Contender Series. He will most likely find himself opposite a figure within the top 15 of the UFC bantamweight rankings next time out.
Blackshear, meanwhile, has now dropped two consecutive fights and is 2-3-1 in the UFC. He is one of just three fighters to record a rare twister submission inside the Octagon.
