He was keen football player until he followed his older brother, Jahfar Wilnis to The Colosseum Gym in Utrecht, Netherlands to train kickboxing at the age of 17. He had his first fight not long after he started training.[2]

When Sahak Parparyan vacated his It's Showtime title, Jason jumped in and challenged Alex Pereira on 10 November 2012 for the It's Showtime 85MAX championship in São Paulo Brazil at It's Showtime 60 event, becoming last It's Showtime champion by 2nd round TKO. He dropped Pereira three times in round with low kicks.[3]

On 28 September 2013 he participated in Glory 10: Los Angeles - Middleweight World Championship Tournament, losing in the semi finals to Artem Levin by judges unanimous decision.[4][5][6]
