Following his win over Mario Navarro at Bellator 234 in January of 2020, featherweight Jay Jay Wilson was on a high. With five wins in a row to start off his MMA career Wilson felt like 2020 was going to be his year, until for a time it wasn’t.
Following the lockdown created by the novel coronavirus, Wilson felt like his 2020 was over, but thankfully he was able to close out the year with wins in July and November, turning it into one his most productive years so far.
“I was starting 2020 on a high, and then the Covid situation hit pretty hard,” Wilson told MMAWeekly.com. “I didn’t think there was going to be any fights for the rest of the year, but then Bellator came back and offer me a fight on a (July) card, and I came out with a win, and fought a couple months later and knocked (my opponent) out in 20 seconds.
