Jeremy Rea Jackson (born September 19, 1982) is an American former mixed martial artist from California.

Career

[edit]

Jackson's first professional MMA fight was on September 9, 2001, against Jake Shields in the Gladiator Challenge 6: Caged Beasts. Jackson has fought in The Ultimate Fighting Championship, Kage Kombat, IFC, King of the Cage, Ultimate Athlete, World Extreme Cagefighting, Gladiator Challenge, Ring Of Honor, and Total Combat. Jeremy Jackson had a trilogy with Nick Diaz. He won via knockout in their first fight, the trilogy ended with him losing two straight to Diaz, the latter loss coming at UFC 44: Undisputed. He competed as a welterweight on The Ultimate Fighter 4 on Spike TV, but was sent home before having a chance to fight after violating the rules of the show.

Although ejected from the tournament, Jackson fought Pete Spratt in the fourth season finale of The Ultimate Fighter. Jackson submitted due to a neck injury in the second round and was released from the UFC.[1]

On June 30, 2008, Jackson was arrested and taken into custody by the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. He was charged with multiple counts of aggravated rape and held on $1 million bail.[2]

Jackson was sentenced to 25 years to life after pleading guilty to the rape charges against his lawyer's advice.[3]
