Veteran scores wild 22-second KO on Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano undercard and instantly celebrates with Jake Paul

Jason Jackson put Jeff Creighton to sleep in just 22 seconds on the Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano undercard.

The 35-year-old 26-fight veteran fought Creighton in the prelims of Netflix’s first MMA event promoted by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

Huge knockout on Rousey vs Carano bill

And Alex Pereira‘s sister, Aline, had just defeated Canadian Jade Masson-Wong before Jackson and Creighton took centre stage.

Due to time constraints, neither Jackson nor Creighton got to make their walkouts, so the pair got straight to work.

Creighton missed with a leg kick before just about catching Jackson with a straight left in the opening exchanges, letting his opponent know he was ready to fight in an electric start.

Jackson responded by landing his own leg kick seconds later, just before Creighton came rushing in with two jabs and a right hand.

Creighton may have instantly regretted his sudden burst, as the American soon found himself on the receiving end of a vicious one-two.

Jackson stepped back and dodged his opponent’s onslaught before touching Creighton with a soft right hand, allowing him to deliver a thunderous left.

Creighton crashed into the canvas and the Jamaican native rushed in and closed the show with a brutal hammerfist to the face.

Jackson instantly jumped out of the cage and exchanged words with promoter Paul, as Creighton was seen with blood streaming down his nose.

Jackson: I’m a main card fighter!

“You guys are sleeping on me,” Jackson said after his win.

“I should be on the main card, making noise!”

He continued: “Nothing was going to mess with me after coming [to MVP]…

“I’m a world-class champion; there’s nothing you guys could do to break me.”

On what he said to Paul, Jackson concluded: “I told him he needs to have me here more often.

“This is my home and I’m ready. I’m ready to showcase knockouts every single time.”

Jackson then praised his team members, which included UFC welterweight Kamaru Usman.

Elsewhere on the prelims at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, Brandon Jenkins and David Mgoyan both secured points victories, while Adriano Moraes submitted short-notice opponent Phumi Nkuta.
