Montel Jackson will lock horns with Danaa Batgerel in a bantamweight bout at UFC Fight Night on March 26.

Jackson’s management, Iridium Sports, first announced the booking. UFC Fight Night is headlined by a light heavyweight duel between Jan Blachowicz and Aleksandar Rakic. The event doesn’t have an official location or venue.

A former competitor on Dana White’s Contender Series, Jackson has won five of his first seven Octagon appearances. Most recently, the Red Schafer MMA product set a bantamweight record with four knockdowns during a unanimous decision victory over J.P. Buys at UFC Fight Night 192 this past September.

Batgerel has been on a roll since dropping his promotional debut to Heili Alateng at UFC Fight Night 157 in August 2019. The Mongolian fighter rebounded to score successive first-round finishes against Guido Cannetti, Kevin Natividad and Brandon Davis to run his overall professional mark to 10-2.
