Outlasts Damon Jackson in Nashville
Quarantillo defeated Damon Jackson via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 50 on Saturday in Nashville.
ANALYSIS
Quarantillo needed a victory here after losing two of his last three fights in the featherweight division, due largely to the UFC handing him a step up in competition, and he got what he came for. On the down side, he did allow Jackson to pick up a takedown in all three rounds, as well as concede 6:10 worth of control time. Quarantillo's takedown defense now sits at a middling 63 percent. On the positive side, Billy Q won the significant striking battle 100-to-67, and he looked better and better the deeper the two got into the fight. It was overall a quality performance that will have Quarantillo looking for a ranked opponent his next time out, as he remains on the fringes of the featherweight division's top-15.
