After my next fight July 19th I was just wondering if you would mind if I put you on my hit list?

Not at all Jeremy! Just don't lose and put yourself out of contention and then if Zuffa wants you to fight me, it's on! Should be happy that I wanna fight you, this could be your big chance!
But know this, anything less than your A game will get you hurt!

By the way, I don't have a hit list but maybe I need one now. All I wanna do is fight and fight the best. Your name consistently pops up as one of the top up and comers in the division and I want to challenge myself.

My biggest test will be Matt Hughes and he's down the road, so if the powers that be want it, then you'll do!

You are correct Pete! I am the same way, I am not one of those guys who likes to fight people I know I can beat. I like competition! I feel better knowing I beat someone that is known as a top fighter. I am not saying I would woop you, because I defenetely respect every fighter that likes to stand. From my point of view you are the top striker in NHB and nobody else comes close not even Lawler. But I'm sure a lot of people look at me as the best hands in NHB. No matter how many people I knock out I know I will not get the respect I want because that is how this sport is. People turn againts you in a heart beat. I lose a fan in a second because of something I post pisses them off. If we fought I know it would not go to descision, one of us would get knocked out, but I know there is only one way to find out. Respectively! Jeremy Jackson

Here is the thread, I dont feel like copying and pasting the rest of the conversation.... (http://www.mma.tv/TUF/DisplayMessages.cfm?TID=235027&P=108&FID=1&c=1)

Awsome good work Global

What event is Jeremy Jackson fighting in July

Its an IFC event, he is fighting Nick Diaz from Cesar Gracie's acadamy. They fought before at King of The Mountain and Jeremy KOED him. Both of them are coming off wins at WEC, Jeremy beating Shonie Carter by unanimous decision and Nick Diaz tapping former KOTC champ Joe Hurly. Diaz broke Hurly's arm.....

This would be a war. I would love to see this happen. It's cool to see two fighters discuss a fight with out talking **** either.

I like pete, but at the very least, Jeremy would give him a tough fight. Jeremy still doesnt get the credit he deserves.

Aint Jeremy 155 tho?

I'm pretty sure Jeremy's 170, he's lean, but I think he's at least 5'10" or 5'11". This would be a war, I love seeing two strikers go at it and with one or two more victories I think Jeremy will have earned a spot in the octagon. His next fight is a tough one, once he get's past Nick Diaz we should send an email petition to Zuffa letting them know we as fans of the sport would love to see Spratt vs. Jackson.

**** yea. and i am training with this guy this week! JJ came a long way. And he has been told that he will get a chance at UFC this year if none of you saw JJ post it a while ago... perhaps last year.

Spratt is the ****, and so is JJ. I would love to see this. 2 VERY respectable guys fighting one respectable match. I honestly would not be able to throw a prediction on this fight, but of course, I will stand behind Jermemy regardless his opponent.

Whats up J Jacksons sparring partner is in the house.

you are?? **** bro, i was planning on comming down there this week to roll a little bit. i was comming down tomarrow, but this weekend rollin... i sprained my toe, my thumb and pulled muscles in both of my arms, lol. hopefully i can head out by thursday coz i need to rest up.

Whats up guys, good to have support! The funny thing is I make more money not fighting in the UFC but make more in smaller shows. But in the long run UFC will pay the most. So my first fight in the UFC I will actually be taking a step lower. But I am not cought up in all this money talk. But people that back me financially care about the money. I would fight for a buck if the time was right. So screw the money! You will see me in the big show very soon.

Scorpion

**** yeah Jeremy!

Jackson I saw your clip, you've got some guns, best of luck. I think Spratt's stand up is solid but u'll prolly take it.

JJ's hands are unmatched for speed in acuracy.

I wouldnt say unmatched, but he is quick and accurate......

All of his punches have maaaad power too, I couldnt believe Shonie was still standing after some of the bombs he dropped at WEC.....

To me spratt is nothing special.
Newton subbed him out quick.
I really don't think Spratt stands a chance in hell
against Hughes.

Jeremy,
Hey when you get that new call that is coming to fight Hallman take it this time!

The call is on it's way. UFC???

OOOOOOoooooOOOohhhh!

JJ vs Hallman?! I would go with JJ. Personally I would rahter see him and Spratt .... that would be a brtual war, I think him and Lawler would be a good trading match, but I think JJ would come out successful. I think his toughest fight to date and his only fight I would'nt be able to predict an outcome to would be him and Spratt, I would also say Matt Hughes. I would love to see what JJ's ground skills are like. He is such a great striker that we never really get to see his purple belt in effect.

From the bottom up is how you gotta gain enough faith within UFC to get to the top. He will get there, just less to tomato cans to fight. Jackson would have his hands full, but he trains hard and is always improving like all the other soon-to-be champs....... like Rampage, Chuck, etc.

It will be very exciting watching JJ's carreer as he becomes one of the best. He will be. I said it before when most others kinda shrugged their shoulders. Remember I said he is champion material when I say it now.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Dogg^x0 , I have known this also! I used to sit in the backyard when he was 15 yrs old, watching him train for 3 hours straight, while music was blaring loudly & untill the mosquitos started eating us!

He had cola bottles strung from the trees, filled with water, punching them as they swung. He planted a board in the ground, wrapped it with my pool raft so he could practice his kicks. ( I loved my pool raft ) It was like he had a driving force inside of him, NOTHING deterred him from his work outs!

When he joined a Martial Arts class 2 nights a week, without us knowing he was going to & arranged to pay for it by cleaning up the place afterwards, I knew he was serious in wanting
"something", but I don't think even he knew what "it" was yet. I was thinking maybe another Chuck Norris maybe, LOL!

Sorry so long winded, memories can do that sometimes..... :)

i bet, mom. i am sure from then, not knowing what was going on but having the drive... then to seeing what he turned into must be like a work of art, a job well done.

lol, and dont mind remenising about JJ. Everyone loves to hear how fighters were, are, and of course how that fighter will turn out. :)

i bet your proud.

Oh.... I am Dogg^x0, very proud! I'm proud of "anyone" that devotes their time & effort into something they want, having a dream is where it begins....... :)

i could'nt have said it better. :)

Lets hope that Diaz gets KTFO. Best of luck to both of them, but you know how we do..... Jackson to the finish. Everyone is amped on seeing JJ in UFC.

One step at a time.

I love the respect shown by both guys. There aren't many guys who show respect both ways. JJ your a class act.

Jeremy take the August 16th fight when Terry calls you, put me on your hit list.

what is the news with JJ?

training 'harrrrrrrrd' is the news! When he's not personal training his clients, he is in the gym with his own training & very hard I might add, I just got back from being there all weekend, ( & almost starving because of his "diet" habits, jeez, a gerbil has more fat food around than he does...... ) I couldn't very well eat Arby's & pizza around him.... or could I??? :)

Yea man, ****ing right, time to watch your highlight vid for the 9999th time??

LOL Luke,I have passed out 178 cds of that hi lite..... it's how I try to create new fans & introduce them to MMA!! I love that hi lite! The music fits, perfect!

Hey Jeremy.....How's training going?
