By The Numbers: Pat Sabatini vs. Damon Jackson

Pat Sabatini’s performance indicates he wants a more significant piece of the pie in the Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division.

The two-time Cage Fury Fighting Championships titleholder will put his six-fight winning streak on the line when he meets Damon Jackson in the featured UFC Fight Night 210 prelim on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Sabatini has compiled a perfect 4-0 record since he joined the UFC roster in 2021. He last appeared at UFC on ESPN 34, where he laid claim to a three-round unanimous decision over T.J. Laramie on April 16. Jackson, meanwhile, has rattled off three consecutive victories. The Fortis MMA rep last competed on June 4, when he outpointed Dan Argueta across three rounds at UFC Fight Night 207.
