There’s been quite an interesting development – it appears DJ Jackson will be fighting against Vagner Rocha in MMA.

DJ has long dabbled in MMA training with the likes of Phil Davis, Mike Easton, Dominic Cruz and others but he’s been largely focussed on grappling.

Vagner Rocha on the other hand Rocha began his MMA career in 2009. In addition to regional promotions in his adopted state of Florida, Rocha has competed for Bellator and Strikeforce. He even had a tenure in the UFC. His fighting record stands at 14 victories and 4 losses at age 35.

DJ Jackson is 3-0 in MMA with the last fight being at CFFC 61 in October 2016.
