Damon Jackson is excited for his UFC Vegas 50 matchup against Kamuela Kirk.<\/p>\n

Jackson is coming off a decision win over Charles Rosa<\/a> and although Kirk only has one fight in the UFC, it was a win over Makwan Amirkhani, who is a known name. Stylistically, Jackson also believes this is a very fun fight for the fans.<\/p>\n

“The dudes solid, this will be a good scrap. What happens when two grapplers fight is there is a lot of standups and that’s what I’m expecting to happen,” Jackson said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com<\/a>. “I’m not going to be diving in on shots as his takedown defense is solid. As the fight goes on, I do think it will hit the ground at some point but I’m ready for the standup battle that will happen.”<\/p>\n

Entering the fight, Damon Jackson is well-aware that Kamuela Kirk is as durable as they come. However, the Fortis MMA product believes he will be able to outstrike Kirk which will lead him to shoot a bad shot and get subbed.<\/p>\n

“I’m 19-4 and I have 17 finishes, eight in the first round, eight in the second round, and one in the third round. I finish people for sure and I’ve fought better guys with better records but he’s fought some tough dudes and is durable,” Jackson said. “I think if I get a submission it will be off him getting desperate or me hurting him and then getting on his back. It won’t be easy but I want that finish.”<\/p>\n

If Jackson gets his hand raised and does so by submission, he believes it could very well get him a ranked opponent next<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I was trying to get that fight against Makwan, which Kirk got on short notice. A win over him puts me in a position where I can ask for another fight in two, three months. I want a quick turnaround and after that, who knows. I just want to go all the way in and fight some ranked guys this year. I definitely want a top-15 guy next,” Jackson said.<\/p>\n
