Both men lost to Raoni Barcelos, who headlines this card
A 44-point chin-rating gap: 92.0 against 48.0
Jackson's 15.2cm reach edge from a southpaw stance
Simon's clean sweep of the grappling categories, 3.00 submission against 1.11
Two 34-year-olds, both on losing runs, both out of room
Jackson has now lost two in a row and his 48.0 momentum score says the decline is real, not noise
If Simon lands the first takedown clean, the reach advantage stops being relevant for a round at a time
