Greg Jackson is known throughout the MMA community as one of the best trainers in the world today and in the last few years, has also been known for putting on quality MMA events as well. In the last two years, Jackson’s MMA Series has put on shows featuring veterans from the UFC, Strikeforce, Bellator and other top promotions.
If you are a fan of women’s MMA, then checking out Jackson’s MMA Series features a lot of great female competitors. Fighters from the likes of Julie Kedzie all the way to Michelle Waterson have all competed inside the cage for the promotion.
Obviously, the main focal point of the group is to give fighters who train with Greg Jackson a place to fight before taking their opportunities on the bigger stages, such as the UFC or Strikeforce.
When you think about how many training centers there are for MMA fighters these days, it is truly interesting to see what Greg Jackson, and others associated with that school will do for the fighters that train there. Another great tool the promotion has been used for is amateur MMA, because the promotion also features a host of amateur MMA fights as well.
