Lasts 18 seconds in Denver
Blackshear lost to Montel Jackson via KO (punch) at 0:18 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
Thanks for stopping by. Blackshear is no pushover, but was he was quickly and thoroughly overwhelmed here in a fight which began as a pick 'em. He ate a minor jab to the chest before being floored with a straight shot from Jackson right up the middle. It happened so quickly that Blackshear was forced to absorb a handful of follow-up blows before referee Nick Berens could step in. The 29-year-old has dropped two in a row on the strength of a brief two-fight winning streak.

Added to UFC Denver
Blackshear is scheduled to compete against Montel Jackson in a bantamweight fight at UFC Denver on July 13, per Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
More than 10 months since his last fight, Blackshear will give himself only one week's notice before UFC Denver in an attempt to help replenish a card significantly hampered by injuries. This is one of multiple times he has been willing to fight someone new on short notice, though the last time that happened resulted in a loss to Mario Bautista.

Fades late in loss
Blackshear lost to Mario Bautista via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 27-30) at UFC 292 on Saturday in Boston.
ANALYSIS
Blackshear seemed intent on using his grappling to set an early tone, but Bautista was having none of it, constantly scrambling and making "The Monster" struggle to retain every position. This led to a clearly tired Blackshear losing steam down the stretch, which allowed his opponent to pour on the pressure and mix in some wrestling of his own. The 29-year-old was riding high after winning via Twister in a bout against Jose Johnson just last week, but it seems evident that the quick turnaround was too much against a tireless worker like Bautista. It's hard to imagine Blackshear will lose much standing in the division as a result of the loss, as he remains one of the more exciting fresh faces at bantamweight.
