Raja Jackson, son of UFC legend Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, was taken into custody and put behind bars following his vicious assault on Syko Stu, aka Stuart Smith, at the Knokx Pro Wrestling event in Los Angeles, USA, on Thursday.
The 25-year-old was booked on a felony charge and taken into custody after he slammed Stu to the floor and landed multiple blows as Stu lost consciousness.

Other wrestlers had to intervene to pull the pair apart, and Stu had to spend multiple days in the hospital recovering from a fractured maxilla, among other injuries. He has been discharged from the hospital and has been recovering at home.
Quinton, Raja’s father, opined that his son should be subjected to a bit of time, some community service, and anger management therapy, but denied that there was murderous intent.
“I know my son, he wasn’t trying to kill him, he’s not that kind of a guy,” Jackson senior said.
“He probably doesn’t know how bad he hurt him. He wasn’t trying to kill the guy,” he continued.
“The problem is, everything gets blown out of proportion and people think. At that point Raja was in the act as a pro wrestler, but he is no pro wrestler,” Quinton added.
“The promoter had no reason to put my son in that ring, so there was no attempt at murder,” he concluded.
