Pete ‘The Secret Weapon’ Spratt got back in the UFC win column in his bout against fellow TUF4 competitor Jeremy Jackson, gaining a second round victory when Jackson tapped out due to a neck injury.
Working his Muay Thai game early, Spratt soon found himself on the mat courtesy of a series of Jackson takedowns, and ‘The Scorpion’ controlled much of the first round. Spratt looked to get things going in the second stanza, and as the two worked along the fence, he pushed Jackson’s head down to avoid a takedown. Suddenly, at the 1:11 mark, Jackson suddenly submitted as he aggravated a training injury to his neck.
“When he was pushing my head down, it felt like it (his neck) was gonna snap,” said Jackson.
