Mike Jackson Speaks on Overturned Win over 'CM Punk'

In June 2018, a little over three years ago, Mike Jackson defeated Phil "CM Punk" Brooks at UFC 225. The result was later overturned to a no-contest by the commission, yet practically nobody seemed to notice until this week, when it became news.

In this Sherdog exclusive, Jackson talks about his win over Brooks in Chicago that night, and when and how he found out about the positive drug test that caused the commission to act. Was he guilty? (Yes.) How did the reversal of a three-year-old fight result not make the news until a week ago? (No idea.) Will Jackson fight in the Octagon again, and if so, when? The answers to these questions and many more await, in this very informal and wide-ranging conversation.

0:00 When did you hear about the positive test and overturned fight result?
7:25 Why didn't you say anything publicly when you found out? (And why do you think Brooks didn't either?)
9:17 Dana White was critical of your last performance, to the point that he said you'd never fight in the UFC again. So...how are you fighting in the UFC again?
13:15 Where are you training for the Dean Barry fight, and has a date been set yet?
17:45 Trying to get on the UFC 265 card in Houston, and thoughts on Derrick Lewis getting an interim title shot in his hometown
18:58 The UFC's multi-show agreement with Toyota Center, the Houston MMA scene, and the ways in which Houston is superior to Dallas
