UFC light heavyweight Ryan ‘Darth’ Bader earned a unanimous decision win versus former champ Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson in the co-main event of UFC 144 Japan. For a second in the first round it appeared that it may have been all over for Bader as Jackson picked up the “TUF” season 8 winner and slammed him down to the mat. Check out the Gif below.

“He got that good slam, you know , I knew he was waiting for something because he was a little to relaxed right there with his head. He was just waiting for me to knee the head and he caught my leg. He’s a strong dude, so he picked me up and slammed me right on my head and I was out of it honestly for a little bit. But, I just recovered and that’s what it’s about, just staying in there and battling and that’s what happened.”
