CHICAGO – For Mike Jackson , a second fight in the UFC comes with a mission – to not to be a flash in the pan. Given a second chance to win in the octagon, Jackson aims to convince UFC President Dana White he’s more than just a reality check for Phil “ CM Punk ” Brooks. “I feel that if I show my skills and show what I’m capable of doing, Uncle Dana, he has no choice but to let me ride another one out,” Jackson (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) told MMAjunkie in advance of his pay-per-view opener against Punk (0-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at UFC 225, which takes place Saturday at United Center in Chicago. For a while, it looked like Jackson was destined to be a footnote in the UFC’s history book. Offered the chance to spoil a fight between newcomer Mickey Gall and Punk, he was instead blown out of the water in a 2016 fight against Gall, who went on to serve the former WWE champ a big slice of humble pie . Jackson went back to his other job as a media professional and MMA writer, also rehabbing an injury.
