TLI standout DJ Jackson is putting his middleweight no-gi title belt on the line against a very tough challenger in Gilbert "Durinho" Burns in the main event of Fight To Win Pro 53 on Nov. 3.

The submission-only 10-minute match will be held in Jackson's backyard of Maryland at a location TBA.

Jackson is an undefeated three-time Fight To Win veteran, having fought both John Combs and James Brasco no-gi and Vinicius Aged in the gi.

Durinho, 31, is a black belt world champion in both gi (2011) and no-gi (2010 and 2013) and a third-place finisher at the 2015 ADCC.

Also on the card will be Shane Jamil Hill Taylor vs. Joseph Overstreet in a 155lb black belt gi match.
