The time has come yet again for Jason Jackson to live up to his nickname.

The 33-year-old “Ass Kicking Machine” will put his Bellator Championship Series welterweight title on the line for the first time on June 22 when he faces undefeated Ramazan Kuramagomedov at 3Arena in Dublin.

The fight was announced on Friday during the Bellator Champions Series Belfast telecast and will mark the third card in the Bellator Championship Series 2024 lineup, following a trip to Paris on May 17.

This marks the first title defense for Jackson (18-4) since winning the belt in devastating fashion at Bellator 301. Jackson destroyed Yaroslav Amosov in three rounds to claim the belt before defending the Bellator brand with a second-round TKO win over Ray Cooper III at PFL vs. Bellator.

Jackson has won his last eight fights but could have his hands full with the Dagestan native. Kuramagomedov (12-0) is undefeated and quickly approaching the prime of his career. The 27-year-old last submitted Randall Wallace with a rear-naked choke in the second round on the same card Jackson won the title.Peter Queally vs Yancy Medeiros Sinead Kavanagh vs Arlene Blencowe Kasum Kasumov vs Matheus Mattos Michelle Montague vs Karolina Sobek Nathan Kelly vs Fabacary Diatta Brian Moore vs Francesco Nuzzi Norbert Novenyi Jr. vs Dalton Rosta Sarvarjon Khamidov vs Marcirley Alves da Silva
