Ex-UFC champion Rampage Jackson's son, Raja Jackson, taken into custody, accused of a serious crime following the public release of a video depicting him violently assaulting a wrestler.
In a shocking turn of events, Raja Jackson, the son of former UFC champion Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, has been arrested by the LAPD on a felony charge. The incident occurred at a pro wrestling event last month in Sun Valley, California, organized by KnokX. According to reports, Raja Jackson was involved in a violent altercation with wrestler Syko Stu (Stuart Smith). The beating occurred during another bout, with Raja Jackson sliding into the ring. The video of the incident, posted on social media and livestreamed on Kick, shows Raja Jackson punching Smith repeatedly, even when he was motionless. Syko Stu (Stuart Smith) was rushed to the hospital and sustained serious injuries including a 'serious head injury', trauma to both jaws, a laceration to his upper lip, and a fracture to the maxilla bone, resulting in the loss of several teeth. He was released from hospital on August 31. KnokX, the organizers of the event, initially stated that the incident was a planned and agreed-upon 'work' in wrestling. However, they later apologized for the incident, calling it a heinous act that had never occurred in their 17 years of operation. CNN Sports has reached out to KnokX for comment. Rampage Jackson, the father of Raja, expressed his condemnation of his son's actions on social media after the incident. He believes his son should face consequences and suggested he needs time for self-improvement, including community service, anger management classes, and therapy. He made these comments to MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers filled out a felony battery report at the scene of the incident. There is no information in the provided results about a criminal charge against Raja Jackson or the exact accusation for which he was charged. Following the incident, Raja Jackson's account has been banned from the Kick platform. The specifics of his current legal situation remain unclear at this time.
