UFC books Damon Jackson vs. Billy Quarantillo for August event

Two featherweight finishers will collide Aug. 5.

At a UFC Fight Night event expected to take place Aug. 5, Damon Jackson (22-5-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) and Billy Quarantillo (17-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) will throw down.

The event is expected to take place in Nashville, Tenn., though the promotion has not yet officially announced it.

Quarantillo first announced the bout on his OnlyFans page. An additional person with knowledge of the booking recently confirmed it to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Jackson, 34, had a four-fight winning streak snapped in January when he was knocked out by Dan Ige. Since he began his second UFC stint in September 2020, Jackson is 5-2.

Quarantillo, 34, looks to bounce back from a knockout loss to Edson Barboza in April. Over his past six fights, Quarantillo is 3-3 with alternate wins and losses.

With the addition, the UFC Fight Night lineup for Aug. 5:

  • Tatiana Suarez vs. Virna Jandiroba
  • Asu Almabaev vs. Ode Osbourne
  • Jake Hadley vs. Tagir Ulanbekov
  • Said Nurmagomedov vs. Kyler Phillips
  • Damon Jackson vs. Billy Quarantillo
  • Tanner Boser vs. Aleksa Camur
  • Dustin Jacoby vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu
