Maryland’s, Josh Jackson is looking to make it three wins in a row when he takes on Piankhi “The Nappy Ninja” Zimmerman in the main event of the FightWorld lightweight championship.
Jackson is coming off of a dominant first round TKO victory over Tyler Collins in the co-main event at Fight World 18.

A win that would set Jackson up for a bout with the main event winner of the evening, Piankhi Zimmerman.
