Jackson-Wink MMA is the home of many future stars of tomorrow in Southwestern MMA. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet two Southwest slayers setting the scene ablaze with their fiery arsenals.

Phil Hawes – A professional since February 2014 and representing Jackson-Wink MMA, Phil Hawes owns a 4-2 record in six career bouts consisting of three knockouts and one submission. Hawes has competed for World Series of Fighting and is also an alumni of season one of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. He has also competed for Legacy Fighting Championship and Global Knockout. In his MMA debut at Legacy Fighting Championship 28, Hawes defeated Brian Cheatham via TKO in the second round.

In his World Series of Fighting debut at WSOF 31 he defeated Joshua Key via TKO in the first round. Despite only being six fights into his professional MMA journey, Hawes has shown that he has all the potential in the world to become a serious threat in Southwestern MMA!

Jordan Wright – A professional since November 2014 and representing Jackson-Wink MMA, Jordan Wright owns a perfect 9-0 record consisting of five submissions and four knockouts.
