Speaking to Brendan Schaub and Bradley Martyn during a UFC 296 watchalong, Jackson explained that he was once robbed whilst drunk:
"I was in Vegas and I got so mother f*cking drunk that I got robbed at gun point. By a stripper yeah. She got me for almost $200,000 worth of sh*t...My jewelry and sh*t...I said 'f*ck that, I'm never getting drunk again. Like, I'm never getting drunk again. My biggest test is going to be New Years in Japan."
