UFC veteran rips into "Danis level mental handicap" Mike Jackson in response to "White nationalism" jibe

UFC veteran Matt Brown has laid into welterweight fighter Mike Jackson following his recent Twitter tirades.

Jackson has made headlines this week after he called out former fighter Jake Shields, labeling him a "Nazi" and a "racist." Shields has denied all of Jackson's accusations and the pair were caught on video getting into a physical altercation at the UFC Performance Institute (PI).

According to Shields, 'The Truth' called him a "Nazi" once again in person, to which the former Strikeforce middleweight responded by slapping Jackson in the face before tackling him to the ground and mounting him. Jackson pleaded for help from bystanders and the pair were eventually separated.

Following the altercation with Shields, Mike Jackson has remained as vocal as ever on social media and has turned his attention to Matt Brown. 'The Truth' referred to Brown as a "white nationalist" for supporting Shield's attack on him.

'The Immortal' disagreed with Jackson's statement and joked that he was as clueless as controversial MMA fighter Dillon Danis:

"Duuuude. You need help. For real. I would say I'll kick your a** but apparently even that doesn't teach you lessons... Glutton for punishment? Idiot? Or Danis level mental handicap"

Former UFC fighter Jake Shields reveals Mike Jackson's coach said he was "scared" of him

The beef between Jake Shields and Mike Jackson appears far from over after the 43-year-old recently revealed he's spoken directly to Jackson's coach following their altercation.

After the video of Shields and Jackson's fight went viral, the former Strikeforce middleweight sat down with MMA Junkie to give his version of the events. Shields stated that he had wanted to officially fight 'The Truth' in the octagon but learned Jackson was too scared to fight him after speaking to his coach:

"On Twitter he started calling me a Nazi for no reason. I had no idea who he was... I'm extremely respected in the fight industry, everyone for the most part loves me and nobody has called me a racist, nor should they... I saw him [Mike Jackson] at the PI and I got in the cage and said let's fight."

He added:

"He kept making excuses saying we'd fight in Houston... I called his trainer and his trainer said he was scared of me. His trainer apologized and said he was an embarrassment... He said it's the last couple of months he's got into this black nationalism, hating white people."
