Kevin Andre Jackson (born November 25, 1964) is an American retired freestyle and folkstyle wrestler and mixed martial artist. Following his competitive career, Jackson became a wrestling coach.
During his international career, Jackson became an Olympic Gold medalist in 1992, a two-time world champion (1991 and 1995), a three-time World Cup gold medalist (1993, 1995, and 1997; bronze in 1994), a two-time Pan American Games gold medalist (1991 and 1995), and a two-time Pan American champion (1990 and 1991). In folkstyle, Jackson was a four-time NCAA Division I All-American, thrice for the LSU Tigers and once for the Iowa State Cyclones, after Louisiana State University dropped its wrestling program. He also stepped into the UFC Octagon in four occasions, winning his first two bouts and losing the next two, all via submission. After spending the last four years as USA Wrestling's National Freestyle Developmental Coach, Jackson made the move to Ann Arbor, MI to serve as an Assistant Wrestling Coach for the University of Michigan.
