Jason Jackson's fight against Andrey Koreshkov at PFL 1 ended with a technical submission victory for Jackson amidst controversy. Jackson landed illegal blows that resulted in a cut on Koreshkov's head before the fight was temporarily halted for checks. While Jackson insisted the strikes were unintentional, he apologized and remained confident in his performance. He believed he was leading on the scorecards, stating he would have controlled the fight regardless of a potential point deduction. Jackson is now focusing on the semifinals against Thad Jean with a strong belief in his chances of winning the tournament.
"I rained down a few good elbows, and I think from him turning away, the blow went to the back of the head. But it wasn't intentional..."
"If they would have deducted a point, I knew the fight would have continued. And if they didn't deduct a point, that means they would have went to the scorecards."
"I'm going to dominate him; if I don't submit him, I'm going to knock him out."
"A strong finish like that, you know I'm going to be winning this whole thing. So guess what, every single competitor in this tournament, they better get ready..."
