Mike Jackson may never fight in the UFC again. Dana White has made it clear that Jackson’s time in the promotion might be over because of the way he acted during his unanimous decision victory over CM Punk at UFC 225. White even went as far as to say that he “got the sense that [Jackson]’s a complete f*cking idiot.”
But if White wants to sell a whole bunch of tickets, all he has to do is look at Jackson’s Twitter account, because the guy is currently in the midst of a spat with Daniel Bryan. Pro Wrestling Sheet brings word that Bryan, in a recent Instagram live broadcast, was asked if he could beat Jackson, to which he replied “I could beat him on the ground, for sure … I think.”
Now obviously, Jackson is a fighter who has spent the last few days being called an idiot by the person who runs UFC, so no one can really blame him if he’s in a sour mood. And seeing as how he just beat a professional wrestler comfortably, Jackson didn’t take too kindly from this statement from Bryan.
Hey, @WWEDanielBryan, don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash. You don’t want to get potatoed like your mans did at #UFC225. https://t.co/5ODbOgXhZ5

Bryan saw this after WWE Smackdown Live on Tuesday and responded in kind.
Interesting 🤔 https://t.co/QnbaPglNgb

It is probably safe to guess that this fight isn’t going to happen, but having said that, everyone really wants this fight to happen, right? No one is 100 percent sure how good Jackson actually is in the octagon, and while I have as many fights in UFC as Bryan Danielson does, he has done Brazilian jiu-jitsu training and is good at kicking people hard. Plus this happened one.
MAKE IT HAPPEN, DANA. If you want. It’s your promotion I just write dumb stuff on the internet.
