UFC legend Rampage Jackson is speaking out after his son was involved in a disturbing incident. On Saturday night, a video circulating on the Internet shows Raja jumping into a wrestling ring and repeatedly punching a wrestler in the head while he was already laying on the ground unconscious during a livestream on KICK.
Based on what I’ve heard, the spot with Raja Jackson at Knokx Pro Wrestling was planned. However, Raja Jackson knocked the person out — ring name Syko Stu– and followed up with a lot of heavy punches to Syko Stu, which were not planned to do that kind of damage.

The wrestler, Syko Stu, had got into an altercation with Raja earlier in the day when he pretended to smash a beer can in Raja’s face.

Raja was allowed to “get revenge” on Stu during the live wrestling show through a fake stunt, but ended up delivering 22 real punches to his head while he was on the ground.
The video circulating of Rampage Jackson’s son, Raja Jackson attacking independent wrestler, Syko Stu is absolutely sickening and disgraceful.
If this was a “work” there is no way Raja was supposed to knock him out cold and feed him with numerous punches while he’s already… pic.twitter.com/MQd8HrydJj

Rampage went on social media to reveal that the altercation was planned for the wrestling show, but that Raja was untrained in pro wrestling and actually injured the wrestler with real punches instead of throwing pulled punches.
“I want to clear up the misinformation about my son Raja. I’ve been confirmed that the wrestler ( Stewart Smith aka Syko Stu) is awake and stable. Raja was unexpectedly hit in the side of the head by him moments before Smith’s match. Raja was told that he could get his “payback” in the ring as a part of the show.
“It was bad judgment, and a work that went wrong. Raja is an MMA fighter, not a pro wrestler, and had no business being involved in an event like this. I don’t condone my son’s actions at ALL! He suffered a concussion from sparring only days ago and had no business doing anything remotely close to physical contact.”
“As a father, I’m deeply concerned with his health AND the well-being of Mr. Smith. That being said, I’m very upset that any of this happened, but my main concern now is that Mr. Smith will make a speedy recovery. I apologize on his behalf and to KICK for the situation.”
Some people believe Raja deliberately punched the wrestler in the head as revenge for an earlier altercation.
