Jackson (15-2-1) heads into this title fight looking to capture LFA gold that eluded him the first time he competed for it at LFA 4.

The NAIA All-American wrestler currently has the most wins in LFA history (5 vitórias) and will look to continue his dominance and position himself for one of two preferred outcomes with a title win at LFA 47. That would be either a rematch with Aguilar or a return trip to the UFC.

Jennerman (12-3) is the only man to experience a similar level of success as Jackson since the merger of Legacy FC and RFA created LFA in January 2017. The Roufusport product is currently tied with LFA flyweight champion Maikel Perez for second most wins in LFA history (4 vitórias) and will look to tie the promotion’s wins leader Jackson by defeating the man himself. E se “Nasty Nate” vitórias por finalização, he will also tie Jackson’s record for most submission wins in LFA history (5 submission wins). Mais importante, Jennerman will capture prestigious LFA championship gold against his toughest opponent to date.
